There's a problem with this:

- Save the attached file as "Latin-7.txt".

- Start Emacs:
  $ LC_ALL=C emacs -Q Latin-7.txt

- C-h v buffer-file-coding-system RET gives:

,----
| buffer-file-coding-system's value is iso-latin-7
| Local in buffer Latin-7.txt; global value is nil
| Automatically becomes buffer-local when set in any fashion.
`----

But the non-ASCII characters are displayed as \377, and the mode line
doesn't display latin-7 but undecided.

- In the *Messages* buffer, I get:

   Error during redisplay:
   (error Recursive `require' for feature `code-pages') [9 times]

  `M-: (featurep 'code-pages) RET' gives t.

- When loading the file "Latin-7.txt" again, the non-ASCII characters
  are displayed correctly.

Bye, Reiner.
