I can't reproduce the problem with the version of x-symbol in
unstable/testing (4.43-4).

I tried it with emacs21 and LANG=pl_PL.  The saved file is
identical to the loaded one.  Janusz, can you test it?  The
package is at:

http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/x/x-symbol/x-symbol_4.43-4_all.deb

Maybe, but all you have to do is send a normal email message
to <submit@bugs.debian.org> with the following text at the
beginning of the email:

Package: x-symbol
Version: 4.0g-1

You should follow that by a description of the problem. If the
bug causes data loss, you can add "Severity: grave".  There
are detailed instructions at:

    http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.pl

(remove the .pl if you want the english version.)

"reportbug" is a just a program that helps you write the
email, I've never actually used it myself.

After you file the bug report it will show up at:

   http://bugs.debian.org/x-symbol

(It may take a few minutes.)
