In my .emacs, I have:
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
When I invoke M-x man, I get an invalid byte when trying to load
either the man.el or the man.elc.
Workaround is to (load "man") before turning on utf-8 mode.
In GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0)
of 2010-03-28 on red.stonehenge.com
configured using `configure '--with-x=no' '--prefix=/usr/local' '--mandir=/usr/local/man' '--infodir=/usr/local/info/' '--build=amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0' 'build_alias=amd64-portbld-freebsd8.0' 'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing''

Thanks for the bug report, but it's took vague for me to reproduce; for
instance, what do you mean by "get an invalid byte"? Could you provide
a testcase starting from `emacs -Q'?

I imagine it'd be something like
emacs -Q
M-: (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) RET
M-: (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) RET
M-: (load-library "man) RET
which will blow up while trying to read the "man" library. There's
something both the man.el and man.elc versions that is *not* utf-8
encoded, probably just latin1.

I don't see any error; man is loaded fine.

Chong> I don't see any error; man is loaded fine.
Yup, same here. So it's something more complex than this.
All I know is that in my .emacs, if I had this:
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(load-library "man")
it'd blow up.
But if I instead moved the load first:
(load-library "man")
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
it worked ok.
I don't know how to simulate that from emacs -Q.

I don't see how setting terminal and keyboard encoding could affect
loading a Lisp file. These settings are relevant only to keyboard
input and terminal output.
Could you perhaps bisect your .emacs to find out what else is needed
to reproduce this problem?

Got it. It was an old man.elc in my private .elib compiled before
utf8 probably even existed. :)
Sorry for the misinform. Thanks.
