Hi dky,

The information is in this thread:

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg00850.html

But as Dan said this is not a simple issue that we can fix now. Instead 
I agree with what Jason said in this thread. We should simply warn the 
user about the problem (and I believe I said in the thread what I 
believe is reasonable to do). However adding a warning and a defcustom 
to avoid the warning should be rather easy (but not very simple).
