Although I never encounter this problem myself, I have seen it on some
disk before with the two files having the same name(which cause problem
when trying to delete one of them).  From the description of the problem
it sounds like Emacs or anything other program might have two or more
files open and you are trying to save a file that is not the LAST file
opened by the program.  Of course I could by wrong on this but this is
my opinion and nobody else.
