Subject: 24.3.50;
	`put-text-property' creates lock files for indirect buffer despite
	`with-silent-modifications'
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 21:36:25 +0400

1. Open a file that has some syntax highlighting in the associated mode
(e.g. ~/test.js, in js-mode).
2. (switch-to-buffer (make-indirect-buffer (current-buffer) "foo"))
3. M-x js-mode
4. Observe the created .#test.js symlink.

* (buffer-modified-p) returns nil in both buffers.
* The lock file won't be removed when the indirect and the base buffer
  are killed, and even after Emacs is killed.
* If I remove the lock file manually, it will be re-created each time
  `put-text-property' is called.
* Possibly related to Bug#3038.
* Reproduces in 24.2 and 23.4, so not a regression, as far as 24.3 is
  concerned.

Here's a typical Lisp-level backtrace:

(Same thing happens inside `syntax-propertize', so it's not just jit-lock).

Thanks for looking into this.

Seems fixed to me as well. Actually can't reproduce going as far back as 
Emacs 25 (even by calling put-text-property inside 
with-silent-modifications manually). So, closing.
