XEmacs 21.4.6 "Common Lisp" configured for
`i386-debian-linux'.
I can reproduce this with:
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter" [Lucid] (i686-redhat-linux,
Mule)
Linux bobcat.ods.org 2.4.18-5 #1 Mon Jun 10 15:31:48 EDT 2002 i686
unknown
However, this occurs only when I have only the .elc files in the
mule-packages/lisp/leim(/quail) directories (as RedHat distributes the
base XEmacs package). Installing the .el files, eg. using the whole
official XEmacs package, alongside the byte-compiled ones fixes this for
me.
There's still something funky here, I think the .elcs should be enough.
David, could you check if you have the .el files around, and if not, if
installing them helps.
Cheers,
