init.el is missing many settings after emacs start

[The Grue]

Hello,

since some months, every now and then when I start emacs23, my init.el is missing many configuration lines. I have checked it in to a git repository, so I can restore the settings, but I really don't like it ;)

The diff looks like this, with many lines deleted (by me, don't want to post >200 lines):

Uhm - excuse me?
Ok, maybe I didn't make this clear: I don't want to loose these settings! It's part of my fine-tuning of emacs and I consider it broken without these settings ;)

It seems you have edited the "custom-set-*" block. That snippet is generated

by emacs when you modify and save the customization options from

inside an emacs session. So you shouldn't edit it manually but

use emacs to change it.

Is patch, the programme, an idea?

Honestly, I don't understand what you're looking or asking for…
