Thanks for replying. It seems that the behaviour of whizzytex has
changed in the most recent upload (I'm tracking Debian testing) and it
is now enabled on every latex file by default and interferes with
auctex etc., but I didn't realise it. I generally use multifile
documents, and whizzytex dies on those, so I didn't realise anything
had changed. Sorry for bothering the group. I guess I'd better file a
bug report. (Sigh).
