My bug; thank you for the report, Mike and Dieter! I’m looking into it, and
I’ve a good idea what’s causing it, but I’ve no solution right now. It seems
that the stable version of emacs-w3m doesn’t actually compile with XEmacs
21.5 anyway, independent of this problem; is SuSE using another version?
