Re: huge files in ~/.emacs.d/auto-save-list/

    then a lot more binary junk and then this:

    **************************************** START

That is really strange because it looks like a file name got clobbered
near the beginning.  `/hom' apparently was replaced by stuff ending in ^\.
I can't imagine what could do that.

These file names all look strange to me.  Perhaps you are using a mail
reader that uses lots of file names in a pattern I don't recognize.
As a result, I can't tell what parts of this output is valid names.
Can you show the same output and point out which parts are part of
real meaningful file names, and what the whole file names look like?
