buffer-offer-save and *scratch*

[Kevin Rodgers]

In GNU Emacs 21.3.2 (i386-pc-solaris2.8, X toolkit)
 of 2003-05-22 on zeus
configured using `configure  --prefix=/opt/csw --with-xpm --with-jpeg 
--with-png --with-gif'
Important settings:
  value of $LC_ALL: C
  value of $LC_COLLATE: nil
  value of $LC_CTYPE: C
  value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
  value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
  value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
  value of $LC_TIME: nil
  value of $LANG: C
  locale-coding-system: nil
  default-enable-multibyte-characters: t

This form does not have its intended effect in my .emacs file
(i.e. buffer-offer-save still has its global default value of nil in the
*scratch* buffer):

(with-current-buffer (get-buffer "*scratch*")
  (setq buffer-offer-save t))

But if I immediately evaluate it in the *scratch* buffer, it works.
