Richard,
Sorry for the delay, I'm just back from vacation.
Just to let you know where I am up to with this.
I tested your suggested modifications and it worked as hoped. However,
before I can claim conclusively that this solved the problem, I wanted to
reproduce the problem I was having with the distribution emacs. As of this
morning, I have only been able to reproduce the original problem once.
Subsequent attempts did not show the problem.
I'll continue testing this and keep you informed.
Matt.
