Another old bug in Debian's BTS, this time with a patch.  The patch
doesn't apply anymore, but it was easy for me to create a new one:

Package: emacs21-common
Version: 21.3+1-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
File: /usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/generic-x.el

Some of the regexps in generic-x have only single backslashes to
escape '.' characters - the result being that they match any
character, including '.' - see patch:
