It prints nil
(require 'base64) doesn't seem to do the trick. I don't know that the
warning:
** the function base64-encode-string is not known to be defined.
is really relevant - base64 stuff ends up in the load path.
Posting news fails in either of two ways, one, which involves emacs
crashing gives the backtrace I posted previously (out of memory).
When that doesn't happen, I get the following backtrace
[-- Attachment #2: backtrace 2 --]
[-- Type: application/octet-stream, Size: 496 bytes --]
[-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 297 bytes --]
so it looks like it can find the base64 stuff okay, but it does bad
things.
I changed my load-path so that it found the ognus/contrib dir before
the tramp/lisp dir, but it made no difference. No wonder:
[~/emacs] erwin1 $ diff tramp/lisp/base64.el ognus/contrib/base64.el
[~/emacs] erwin1 $
