If `customize-save-customized' is issued (through M-x or any other way,
such as C-x C-s in customize buffer), and during the run of the function
"exit" is called (e.g. using C-g), the routine writes garbage into the
`custom-set-variables' form in `custom-file'.
We should first construct the form in a temporary buffer and then write
it at once into the output file. Another (simpler) solution is to use
`atomic-change-group' from subr.el
Had I not kept the file under git, I would've lost most of my settings.
It seems like a good idea to handle a critical operation like this
atomically.
Cheers.
