* bug#7014: 23.2; `C-h c' command doesn't show the info when invoked from the minibuffer

Hello,

Try the following:
1.- Start emacs (anyhow).
2.- Type `C-x C-f'.
3.- Now, from the minibuffer, type `C-h c' --> Here, Emacs prompts me
for a key to describe. OK.
4.- Type `C-n' (for example). --> Now Emacs should show me the
description of the `C-n' key (*), but that doesn't happens. Instead,
after a couple of seconds, the minibuffer comes back with the prompt
of the `find-file' command.



(*) Look at the Emacs manual, chapter 8 ("The Minibuffer"):

Thanks in advance. Dani.
