I think that XEmacs 21.2 isn't autosaving when it's signalled. Will
someone else please test this? I discovered it when an unmapped
XEmacs' gnuserv died.
With or without gpm, and with or without -unmapped, I get the same
thing. Edit ~/blah, save it, edit some more, don't save, then send a
sigHUP to XEmacs and make it exit. It says it autosaved, but when I
start it up again and do `M-x recover-session', it doesn't work.
"blah" wasn't autosaved as advertised, as far as I can tell. ?

I began a more detailed bug report last night, then had a system
lockup... I'd hibernated my laptop for the night, and turned it on
this morning. All of the backed up cron jobs fired off at once, and
rather than wait for the hour or more of thrashing, I power cycled
the thing, and lost the bug report I'd started. Grrr. I fixed that;
serialized all my cron scripts with a `source' include that uses the
procmail lockfile program and a trap to cleanup the lockfile. That's
what I learned today.
