Stephen:
Well, I didn't see what the problem was. But, in troubleshooting, we could say
if you have this problem ..., then do this ... And, if you have found the
problem in the source of the missing *, just make a short patch and send it to
the GNU Emacs maintainers; they are just about ready to make a new release.
Please send me the patch, and I'll get it into XEmacs as well.
