Copying and pasting

Cc'ing XEmacs Beta, which is the appropriate place for this kind of
inquiry.

This may have a workaround in recent releases of the 21.4 series.  It
would help to identify the problem if you could post the original text
and the exact sequence of corrupt characters.

The current version of XEmacs is 21.4.20.  You could try updating to
that, which has a large number of other fixes in it relative to
21.4.17.  If that doesn't help, I'm pretty sure there are ways to work
around but without seeing the corruption in question, I don't know
which to apply.
