Here are my specs (latest CVS, no modifications):

In GNU Emacs 23.0.91.29 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of 2009-03-03 on furry
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10502000
configured using `configure  'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-g''

LANG is en_US.UTF-8

I can reproduce it with `emacs -Q'.

Do you at least see the redisplay problem reported by the OP?
