Re: Abbrevs changed mysteriously

[Richard Stallman]

    No, I am not setting save-abbrevs.

That is really strange, because the code to ask the question
is run only if save-abbrevs is non-nil.

Please try setting save-abbrevs to nil and see if you still get the
question.

                                       I can't remember when it all started, 
but I
    think some time in September, after I updated my copy from CVS.

Can you tell us approximately when your previous update was?  Those
would be bounds on when the change was made.
