After 20 years, it's high time to "M-x report-emacs-bug RET", that's
how you bring problems to attention of the Emacs maintainers. But see

I cannot reproduce this. I get this:
9/19/12 Worked 9.5 hours. Spent 1 hour misc. Spent 0.5 hour RTFI. Watched
Mitutoyo vid of IMTS QIF demo. Exchanged email messages with Bob Brown.
as expected.
What Emacs version did you use? Can you show a minimal recipe to reproduce
the problem starting with "emacs -Q"?
