While using emacs to edit to a file with more than one hard link, and saving with save-buffer (C-x C-s), emacs saves the newly edited buffer to a new disk file, leaving the remaining links to refer to the original file which is now out of date. To keep all link references current, I have to delete other links and relink the file each time I make an edit. I must be doing something wrong here. Has anyone seen this before? The version info is emacs 19.34.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit) installed as a package from the 2.2.2-RELEASE cdrom running under 2.2.2-RELEASE. Please reply directly as I am not on the mailing list. Thank you. Chuck O'Donnell
