Which version of PG 4 is this?  I only know of 
ProofGeneral-4.0pre091204.tgz, and the repository version seems to be 
mostly identical to that, which means it is highly unstable.

The situation concerning PG is still unchanged since the Isabelle2009-1 
release:

   * PG 4.x is broken
   * PG 3.7.1.1 is in stasis, it somehow works but for Emacs 22.x only

Unless the PG 4.x situation changes dramatically, it means our time is 
running out as major Emacs distribution switch to GNU Emacs 23 (like 
Aquamacs 2.0), because PG 3.7.1.1 will no longer work.  I reckon that the 
serious problems we already have will escalate within the next 12 months 
or so.
