I said in http://groups.google.de/group/gnu.emacs.bug/msg/7c8c4bd5e77eb306

  "every few minutes I get this annoying question:
   <filename> changed on disk; really edit the buffer?

   I'm absolutely sure that no other program is using
   this file."

O.k.
After opening the file I get the attributes

(nil 1 5 5 (18227 8016) (18227 8016) (18206 2636) 3066 "-rw-rw-rw-" nil 
-16252 (6714 . 34723))

and nothing else happens.  Then I write a few words, wait until Emacs
does "Auto-saving..." and with the next character I try to type I get
the loved question:
".emacs changed on disk; really edit the buffer? (y, n, r or C-h)"

visited-file-modtime gives me then:
(18227 8016)

until next Tuesday, best regards
