Let's say I'm working within my *scratch* buffer. Now, when I try to use 'customize-variable', an
empty new buffer is created called, say, "*Customize Option: Default Frame Alist*". However, all the
info/buttons/etc that 'should' have been in this customization buffer are 'actually' dumped inline
into the *scratch* buffer. I've seen this happen even after emacs has been quit and restarted.
Please note, this is not related to the 'compilation-nomessage-regexp-alist' errors that you may see
in this problem report.
