What is odd about it: with the same Emacs-23.2.1 on Mac OS X the problem 
only occurs on Lion, not Snow Leopard (which I have started to re-install 
today on my desktop system).

Since Emacs-23.2.1 has only a *few* such drop-outs on Lion, but Emacs-23.3 
has *many*, I have switched back to the older version in the app bundle on
