Package: emacs23
Version: 23.4+1-4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
reproduce:
emacs .sout # minimal string required for bug
emacs ARBITRARY.soutARBITRARY
result:
buffer being unconditionally READONLY (independent of file
permissions or existence)
I can not find that literal string in any files i *think* are read
in by emacs (/etc/emacs, /usr/lib/emacs*, /usr/share/emacs*) and
can not find that string in the emacs23 Debian source code package
source.
We have a user with many file names of the form XXXX.southYYYY
(.north, etc..) and it is aggravating to them to have the buffer
always start off readonly.
I have tried this on a CentOS machine (albeit emacs 21) and the
problem does not exist there.
I also tried this on a Debian Jessie box with GNU Emacs 24.3.1,
and the problem doesn't exhibit there (must be fixed), either, but
it would be nice to have a fix or a workaround or understanding of
where the bug/misfeature is triggering (sorry, i'm a 'vim' person,
and i can't find any info via search engine for this problem)
thanks,
--stephen
