Re: autosave

[Richard Stallman]

    When unable to create (or write to?) some autosave dir .emacs.d or below,
    retries forever.  This occurred when I was running with a home dir that I
    couldn't write to (because I was root on a different machine).  Never had
    this problem in versions 20.4 and before.

Would you please supply a precise test case so we can reproduce this?
