Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email-masked] mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Saving a change with Custom-save deletes the old custom file (in my case
~/.emacs-custom.el).  This is quite annoying if you don't have backups. 

In GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9)
