Hi, Steve -
Thanks for replying.

even before the Coverity thing, and I use jka-compr a _lot_. That
makes me think you should start with recent[2] 21.5 changes that were
back-ported to 21.4.
I should have mentioned that the same thing happens with 21.5, that is:
cp /etc/passwd .
gzip passwd
xemacs-21.5 -vanilla
(require 'jka-compr)
(auto-compression-mode 1)
^X^Fpasswd.gz
yields a modified buffer. My guess is that this is a timing issue with
when the buffer gets marked as modified. The buffer is actually modified,
after all - it has been changed from compressed to non-compressed.
In either 21.4 or 21.5, if you make a null change (e.g. add a space and
then delete it) and then save the file, the file is not corrupted, so
jka-compr mostly works.
