Date: Thu, 30 Dec 2010 12:36:57 +0100

A way to reproduce starting from -Q would be more helpful if this is to be 
fixed.  Enumerating the missing future set in the current port is also 
helpful, sweeping statements is not.

I don't think switching is an option, the macport doesn't seem to be based on 
emacs 24 yet.
