[Criveti Mihai]

M-x describe-bindings doesn't work anymore. Worked in 22.3 on this
machine, same compiler (XL C 10.1), etc.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.90/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

I can't reproduce it on GNU/Linux, so this might be AIX-only.  That
would be strange.  Do you still see it happening with latest CVS?  Have
you tested on other platforms?

You didn't answer Chong's question. Do you still see the problem with
newer releases or the trunk?
