bug in (Aquamacs) Emacs ?

[Dan Iancu]

        Hi,
	I have noticed the following awkward bug in Emacs (Aquamacs 1.8 for  
MAC):
	After opening and editing files on remote servers (Tramp Mode),  
closing and then reopening Aquamacs, it is impossible to open any  
other files (even on local hard-drives). Aquamacs itself starts off  
well, but it is impossible to open any new buffer or search for  
existing files. Even quitting the application via Command+Q is not  
working anymore.
	The only fix that I could find for this was deleting 'Recent  
Files.el' from the  Preferences folder, in which case everything  
returns to normal (after a Force Quit of Aquamacs).
	Any ideas what could be causing this? Any inputs would be much  
appreciated.
        Thank you,
                -Dan
