Subject: 23.0.60; Custom-save deleting custom file

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 emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org 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.

I also cannot reproduce this, so I am closing this.
If you still see this with the latest version of Emacs, please reply and
we can reopen this if needed.
