Besides the strange updates to cua-base.el / cua-rect.el reported earlier,
I also noticed that in net/telnet.el, year 2004 was _changed_ into 2005.
But while there were changes in 2004, there are no changes in 2005.
TO me, the recent updates seem to be a step backwards, rather than forwards,
in terms of accuracy.
