Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug #464587, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

As a temporary workaround, if you don't absolutely need to work with xemacs21, try emacs23 (GNU Emacs) instead. The bug is fixed in the forthcoming Ubuntu Natty Narwhal, so if you are comfortable working with an unreleased Ubuntu version, that could be another option. Finally, there may be a backport for Maverick or even Karmic of the ocaml-mode package, or you could perhaps find out how to create your own local patched version.
