That's a relief.

For some reason, I seem to be running 4.16.0.73.  That means that it
doesn't have my magic programming patches.

Admittedly, I have been using Emacs much more for programming because I
can coax it into creating infinite back-ups, which is really useful when
you screw things up as much as I do!
