I can't reproduce this problem with CVS or the latest pretest.  It
sounds like a corrupted DOC file or something like that.  Romaine, can
you reproduce it in your snapshot package?

I have just reproduced the bug:

1. C-h f
2. curr
3. TAB key (for the completion list)
4. Then Enter key

Symptoms (Help buffer):

«current-buffer is a built-in function in `C source code'.

[Missing arglist.  Please make a bug report.]

Default value of `scroll-bar-width' for buffers that don't override it.
This is the same as (default-value 'scroll-bar-width).»

Sorry, the actions were

1. C-h f
2. curr
3. TAB key (for the completion list)
4. bu
5. TAB key (for the completion list)
6. Then Enter key

I can't reproduce this problem twice in the same session. Hope this helps.

Yes, I can reproduce it with emacs-snapshot but not with a regular
CVS build.  It works fine with the snapshot based on 23.0.90.
