I have narrowed down the problem I have been having with emacs 23 on a
gentoo system to the app-emacs/table installation.  A copy of an
incompatible version of table.el is installed in a directory,
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/table, referred to and loaded by code inserted in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site- gentoo.el, when I have enabled the loading
of that file as suggested by the installation of independent emacs-related
packages.

Removal of app-emacs/table removes the offending bit.  I will file a bug if
it appropriate to do so for a CVS emacs version?

I have filed bug number 190635<http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190635>at
bugs.gentoo.org about this problem.

The latest official version of Emacs (22.1) also contains
table.el that doesn't have the function
table--deep-copy-rebind-keymap.

The latest emacs introduced the "command remapping" feature and the
table.el takes advantage of it.  (See 22.13 "Remapping Commands" in
elisp info page)  The older table.el realized the same effect in a
kludgey way which is the table--deep-copy-rebind-keymap function.
