+ * autorevert.el (auto-revert-handler): In `auto-revert-tail-mode',
+ check only for changed size.
+ (auto-revert-tail-handler): Get size from caller. If the file has
+ shrunk, tail the whole file again (the file presumably has been
+ rewritten).
+
* woman.el (woman-topic-all-completions, woman-mini-help): Fix
fallout from 2007-09-07 introduction of `dolist' when the list
actually was being manipulated in the loop.
