Package: emacs
Version: 23.2+1-4
Severity: normal

How to reproduce:

In the shell:

dd if=/dev/urandom of=orig bs=1024 count=1
cp orig copy
cmp -l orig copy; echo $?

In emacs:
open copy with hexl-find-file
go 1 line down, press C-M-x for insert-hex
enter any 2 digit hex number
save the file

Back in the shell:
cmp -l orig copy|less

there will be a whole lot of apparently random differences, not just
the changed byte.
