I don't know if we have any Carbon expertise on this mailing list
right now.  We would need to find somebody willing to take the
debugger through the motion on this, whether on this mailing list or
the XEmacs developer list.

It will probably not easy to do the latter, unless Uwe manages to
check in 11.82 into sumo at some point of time.  Once that happens, I
guess XEmacs developers would be a bit more responsive than usually,
as they would then have easy access to test cases.
