FYI:
  We have lots of lisp files which begin like this:

;;; -*- Mode: Lisp; Package: BONES -*-

  I've been sorta keeping up with the beta versions as they've come
out, and I see that with the latest one, this no longer
works. I.e. when a file named <something>.lisp begins with the line
above, the major mode ends up as `Indented Text'. If, however, I
removed this line, the major mode ends up as `Lisp'.

  Any clues?  I poked around and couldn't find where this line is read 
for determining the major mode. If someone can point me to it, I'd
look into it.

Ozzie,
