[gnu.emacs] Emacs 18.53 and pre-loaded libs

jk0@image.soe.clarkson.edu (Jason Coughlin) (07/05/89)

We've put the new site-init.el file to use by pre-loaded almost of the
libraries here (we pre-load the libraries that are used most often).  I
think there is a mega-bug with the way Emacs is treating variables now!
If I set variables in the site-init.el file, no problem.  When Emacs is
run, the variables have those values.  Now if I change those variables
values in default.el or .emacs files, I get WEIRD and unpredictable
results.  I'm beginning to suspect that Emacs treats the lisp code loaded
during compile time (loaded into the data segment) MUCH differently than
the lisp code loaded at run-time.  Right?  Any ideas what to do about this?

I apologize in advance if this has been discussed already.
