This happened to me several times. I think the problem is related to LFN

Here's a way to recreate the problem.

1.   From within emacs open test  file , say  file.ext (all lowercase).
2.   edit some text and save.
3.   open another file but specify now File.Ext. (note mixed case)
     now you have two different buffers displaying the same file.
4.   change the new file (File.Ext), save it.
5.   switch to the first buffer (all lowercase). now if you try to edit it,
EMACS
     will display the above message.


BTW this message is displayed if another editor changed the file.

I dont think so. See above.
