Mhh.... autosave strangeness... g++-3.2.3...

Try compiling texmacs with:

-- optimizations disabled: ./configure --disable-optimize

-- g++-3.3 (if you have it around)

or try using the static distribution, which supposedly is compiled
correctly.

There are bugs in all g++-3 before 3.3 which caused weird problems
with texmacs. One place when this was reproducible was in the autosave
code.

These problems were worked around by disabling inlining (a specific
optimization) with the buggy gcc releases, but maybe there is another
rare bug in g++ you are hitting.
