RE: Java buffers are randomly read-only

[Chuck . Irvine]

I did a little work tracking down this problem and found it to be
related to, believe it or not, an inconsistency in the way the CVS lisp
code handles the users login name. I was stepping through the code, and
found the name sometimes in all uppercase and sometimes in all lower
case. I can't remember exaclty in which elisp file the problem resided,
sorry. However, my workaround was rather simple and so far I haven't had
any read-only buffers. The workaround was to put (setq user-login-name
"MY_USER_NAME_IN_UPPER_CASE") in my .emacs file. 

My hunch is that this problem is due to an unexpected NT related side
effect.

 I don't know if this is a JDE specific problem. Java buffers seem to be
randomly read-only when I open them. I am using JDE2.2.6beta5 and WinNT.
The files are read/write according to NT. M-x toggle-read-only is a
temporary fix, but I'd like to find out what is causing this problem.
Any ideas?
