What is going on here?

[Deniz Dogan]

I hit e.g. C-c C-x and Emacs waits for more input.

C-c C-x C-h gives me:

^L
\fGlobal Bindings Starting With C-c C-x:
key             binding
---             -------

I tested this with -Q on: GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 
2011-06-20 on 3249CTO

It waits for C-x 8, which is bound in key-translation-map.

I see.  But C-c C-x 8 also waits for more input, while C-c C-x 8 is not 
the prefix to anything.  I don't understand that one.

C-x 8 is iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map.

Also, C-x @ is bound in function-key-map.

The bindings table is empty because those prefixes are not bound to any
command, but they're bound to key-rewritings, such as C-x 8 e ' => é
