I was trying to report an Emacs bug recently when I found that M-x
report-emacs-bug was causing an error. After a lot of tracing I
found that the problem was that I was doing a (load-library "files")
from my .emacs, and even though that was picking up the system-wide
files.el, it was breaking my ability to compose email.
The problem turned out to be that loading files.el redefines the
convert-standard-filename function to do nothing other than return
its argument. After re-loading files.el I need to re-load w32-fns.el
as well, since that redefines the function to work on windows.
I would like to be able to copy files.el locally, modify it, and load
it from my .emacs, but if I do that, I also have to load w32-fns from
my .emacs.

PS. I've since forgotten what the real bug I wanted to submit was. But
at least now the next time it bothers me I can submit it!
