o Reported back for b93 that I'd be going along fine, and then all of
  a sudden everything would hit a brick wall.  Just going to the *shell*
  buffer and typing pwd would take 30 seconds or so, with the CPU
  pegged.

  Switching to a new frame would take 15-20 seconds to redraw.

  In the same msg. I reported a crash, and it looked like something
  was happening involving ange-ftp.  But it seems that was probably
  just a symptom.  I never reported back, but I even saw this with an
  XEmacs process that just had a few direds, a shell, and maybe a few
  edit buffers.  No VM, ange-ftp or anything fancy to muddy the
  waters.

  I was busy, so I just switched back to b90.  Would sure like to know
  if anyone else is seeing anything like this.

  Note that it doesn't happen right from the start.  It goes along
  fine for a bit, and then wham, right into a wall.

o VM 6.13 no longer recognizes my auto-folder-alist.  Well, I can C-h v
  the variable and it's set just like with 5.96 or whatever, but I
  hit s on a msg. that it should recognize and the correct folder
  doesn't show up as default.

  I can switch back to b90 (VM 5.96) and it still works as before.

  Here's an excerpt from my .vm.  Is anything wrong with this?

(setq vm-auto-folder-alist 
      '(
	("^\\(Cc:\\|From:\\|Apparently-To:\\|To:\\)" 

	 ;; GNU (and related) mailing lists:
	 ("auc-tex"           . "Computing/GNU/Emacs/elisp/AUC-TeX")
	 ("help-octave"       . "Computing/GNU/Octave")
	 ("info-octave"       . "Computing/GNU/Octave")
	 ("info-cvs"          . "Computing/GNU/CVS/")

	 ("info-vm"           . "Computing/GNU/VM")
	 ("ntemacs-users"     . "Computing/GNU/Emacs/Windows")

o Scrolling is screwed up in VM 6.13.  It's like back before I added
  code to my .vm to turn off scroll-in-place in VM like this:

(add-hook 'vm-mode-hook
	  '(lambda ()
	     (make-variable-buffer-local 'scroll-in-place)
	     (setq scroll-in-place nil)
	     ))

  How should this be changed for 6.13?

o I posted recently that in all the recent changes I've made as a
  result of poking around with various packages I'd broken dired
  fontification.  Well, it's kind of moot now since all the dired
  stuff is changed in b94 because of efs.  Dired fontification works,
  and in fact I had to remove the dired-xemacs-highlight stuff I had
  in my .emacs.  Gonna have to document changes necessary for efs
  carefully in the public announcement.
