================================================================
Dear Bug Team!

I recently upgraded Xemacs from 21.4.19 to 21.4.21. The older version 
worked well, but with the new one I can't write to files on a drive 
mounted over the network (provided by Samba). Writing the same file to a 
local hard drive works fine. Trying to write to a new file on the 
network drive does not work because Xemacs complains that the directory 
is write protected (which it isn't, nor is the file itself).
Trying to write the same file using 21.4.19 on the networked drive (from 
another machine) works fine.

Any suggestions ?
