I did not reproduce the problem on Solaris 10 sparc, which ships with 
GNU Emacs 21.3 in /opt/sfw/bin/emacs (dated 2006-03-26). I ran the shell 
command "Emacs" from a terminal window, where my ~/.emacs file contained 
only this:

   (eval-after-load "enriched"
       '(defun enriched-decode-display-prop (start end &optional param)
              (list start end)))

which is what is in 25.3 etc/NEWS. Emacs started up fine and the bugfix 
was in place. So perhaps we should leave the NEWS file alone.

It's hard to reproduce the problem on today's GNU/Linux, as these old 
releases no longer build out of the box.
