Ok, without knowing the context, it smells like a bug in the packages'
site-start.el language environment setup stuff that was reported some
time ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/213582

By the way, once it graduates, hopefully the patch Aidan posted recently
about language environment auto-setup will make that stuff unnecessary.

Mike, the part of the site-start.el being discussed is derived from the
SuSE XEmacs packages, so you may be interested in taking a look at the
above report and to check if the SuSE packages are affected too.

Thanks.  No problem with that obviously, but I found the wording and
generalization in your reply to the next user of said OS who dared to
ask something probably entirely unrelated strange and somewhat
offensive.
