I tested this:
  .jedrc with one line:
      set_hostname(" ");
   jed t1.tmp (new) --> t1.tmp gets wrongly locked

And, .jedrc with one line:
      insert( "hello");
  jed
     --> hellohellohello   in *scratch*
  jed -n
     --> hello   in *scratch*

Shouldn't the switch '-n' avoid evaluation of .jedrc?
Where and when does the SuSE-jed evaluate .jedrc?
  
Anyway, it seems worth to reinstall as you have suggested.

Thanks a lot. Now it is up to me ;)

SuSE8.0/KDE3 looks nice and was the easiest way to go for me.
Maybe I will change to Debian on next stable release.

Thanks
