No, I am not setting save-abbrevs. I can't remember when it all started, but I
think some time in September, after I updated my copy from CVS.
It may have started earlier, because I was updating about once a month or
so.
I didn't report it then because I was hoping to figure out what was wrong
and also because it was only a minor annoyance that had to be taken care
of only when emacs is restarted (i.e., rarely in my case).
