Hi Adams

Thanks a lot for your quick response.

After clean start with emacs -Q, the problem remain.

Below is my emacs-version:
Emacs 23.3.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-04-06 on wei-laptop

It works for me.  Says file-name's value is "test" (and not documented etc.).

Give a recipe starting from emacs -Q.
