The mailing lists still are slow as molasses, so I'll follow up
without waiting for my previous answer to appear.

I'll change the autoloads accordingly now to get this off the release
problem list.  I'd still very much appreciate if you filed a
respective report with the three spots you found to xemacs-beta, as I
would prefer not to have this solution be semi-permanent.

I currently have an excellent net connection in Berlin through an open
WLAN.  Unfortunately I am unable to figure out a mailing address for
offering my "provider" a beer in return.
