[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs 1.8 intermittent problems with command-C

[David Reitter]

I reverted the change below, made in 1.8, in order to address this  
issue.
There will be an Aquamacs 1.9 eventually to incorporate this and other  
fixes.


===
\item Command-C (clipboard-kill-ring-save) will take care not to  
create duplicate entries in the kill ring.
Reported by Konrad Podczeck.
