    I've reverted this change (now in help-mode.el) since I can see now that in
    21.3 help-follow pushed an item onto the stack but that's not the case now.

I have a feeling that Dave Love made that change to fix some bug.
Maybe that other bug has come back now.  Perhaps we need to fix it
some other way, but we shoud fix it.

Dave, can you tell us what bug that fixed?
