I just made a brand new repro and it is still buggy.

  $ git status
  # On branch master
  nothing to commit (working directory clean)

See end of posting for more information.

Better thru the list then.  Shows the project generates
some traffic.

  M-x version
  GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
  2.20.1) of 2012-05-18 on batsu, modified by Debian

I see emacs 24.1 is current.

It was okay before when I used the latest tarball:

  ebib-1.9.1.tar.gz

Same problem with the latest 'git' version, no problem
with my older (admittedly modified) tarball.

I can look thru the changes since 1.9.1.  Can you give
me a git hash for that commit please?

cheers, Robbie
