That was 8 years ago.  Are you still seeing this issue in a modern
version of Emacs?  From the thread, it looked like you were only able to
reproduce it on your desktop machine, but not on a vps, and another
person reported that he was unable to reproduce it too.

If I don't hear back from you within a couple of weeks, I'll just
assume that this is no longer an issue and close this as
unreproducible.  Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
