Mac OS X: Option "Word Wrap in Text modes" isn't saved when options are saved via menu-bar Options/Save Options.

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing
list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I deleted all .emacs and .emacs.d files and directories. Then I opened
GNU Emacs (the 2006-02-03 nightly).
I chose "Word Wrap in Text Modes" from the "Options" menu in the
menu-bar. The option was marked (with a hook). The mode bar (second line
from the buttom I mean) read (Text Fill). Then I chose "Save Options"
from the "Options menu". The mini-buffer (last line I mean) read "Saved
~/.emacs". I quit GNU Emacs. When I opened GNU Emacs again, the "Word
Wrap in Text Modes" in the "Options" menu was not checked anymore. The
mode bar (second last line) did only read "(Text)" i.e. without "Fill".
When I opened a LaTeX document, there was still no fill. My .emacs reads:

=== snip
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
=== snap

But even if I add the following to my ~/.emacs (to the bottom):
=== snip
 '(text-mode-hook (quote (turn-on-auto-fill (lambda nil (auto-fill-mode
0) (message "")) text-mode-hook-identify)))
=== snap
the problem continues. I.e. still no "Fill" in the mode bar, and the
"Word Wrap in text modes" in the "Options" menu still is unchecked. And
that still goes on when a open any LaTeX file. I can't remember that I
ever had this problem with the GNU Emacs bundled with SUSE Linux (8.2,
9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and 10.0) -- but with all Emacs versions I ever used on
Mac OS X (besides GNU Emacs that is Enhanced Carbon Emacs, Carbon Emacs
(from Japan), and Aquamacs Emacs).

I tried the same with my wife's iBook with the same result.

If emacs crashed, and you have the emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
