xemacs is not saving files reliably. Some files save as normal,

Try disabling the boot launch. Then run "xemacs" from the command
line. If the problem disappears, it's an issue with the setup by the
session manager. If not, try "xemacs --no-init-file" from the command
line. If the problem disappears, it's in your personal init file or
customizations (usually ~/.xemacs/init.el and ~/.xemacs/custom.el) or
in the site-specific default.el. If not, try "xemacs --no-site-file".
If the problem disappears, it's somewhere in these files:
Loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/debian-startup...
Loading 00debian...
Loading site-start...
Loading 00debian-vars...
Loading 50autoconf...
Loading 50dictionaries-common...
Loading debian-ispell...
Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-default.el...
Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el...
Loading 50psvn...
If it still appears, try "xemacs --vanilla". If it disappears, it's
an interaction between your personal customizations and the Debian
customizations.
If the Debian startup files are involved, it is possible that you also
have GNU Emacs installed, and XEmacs is finding files written and
compiled for GNU Emacs. This typically causes incompatibilities, and
should be avoided. Last I heard, Debian was claiming to have fixed
all such problems but a regression is always possible.
To find a library that doesn't have a directory in the list above, use
M-x find-library RET library-name-without-el RET. (As usual SPC/TAB
completion is available.)
Please let us know of any suspicious code or customizations you find.
Although my initial impression is that it's likely to be basically a
customization problem, we may be able to give better warnings or work
around the problem. And of course it might be an out-and-out XEmacs
bug.
