As I've mentioned in a previous message, your patch caused problems on
GNU Emacs when revert-buffer was used interactively. I also couldn't
make it work with XEmacs (but that may just be stupidity on my part).
The patch below, courtesy of RMS, seems to stop the problem happening
on both GNU Emacs and XEmacs. It doesn't seem to address some of the
other issues that your patch did...
peace & happiness,
martin
