invoking help-mode appears to hit some kind of loop and hangs --
happens in all major modes.
I have to hit ctrl-g multiple times before emacs starts
responding, and at that point the mode description is displayed.
Unclear where it is hanging; I turned on debug-on-quit and was
surprized when I did not get a backtrace after hitting ctrl-g ---
note that Ihad to hit ctrl-g multiple times before it broke out.
None of the other help commands appear to display this problem.

I'm afraid I can't reproduce this. On latest trunk:
emacs -q
M-x help-mode RET
The welcome screen goes into Help mode, but there is no hang.
