Yes, At least in relation to my machine. This happened with a couple of the later quassia releases. I only noticed it accidently by looking at the messages buffer where there were messages saying gnus was loading .el files because they were newer. Rather than get too involved figuring out what was what, I just 'touched the .elc files and the messages went away. May have been related to having my machine time setup incorrectly. Some time in the recent past I did do some tinkering with time configurations. And as with all aspects of Linux, I didn't know what I was doing very well, so botched it up several times. Not sure if this might be related though. Sorry I didn't check into it further. Once I discovered 'touching' .elc files fixed it, I felt I was swamped enough with trying to learn all this other new stuff. At any rate it hasn't happened again since about quassia 35 or so. -- Harry Putnam reader@newsguy.com
