Before I upload the new build, I want to make sure the problem really is
fixed. M-x help works fine, but then I tried some of the other things
that the OP mentioned, and I got the following results:

Do these all look OK? (I'm worried about the first and third.) I get
the same results in a build from the (emacs-24) trunk.
