Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacs22
22.1-0ubuntu4~
To reproduce:
in a directory owned by root, as root:
touch foo
chown someuser.somegroup foo
as someuser:
emacs foo
make some changes
C-x C-s
hangs. Under emacs21, it would tell you it couldn't write the backup file and would write one named %backup% in your homedir. It should at least not hang.

I can't see this problem. I get the message as in emacs 21 and no hang. I am using 22.1-0ubuntu4.
