Re: `ido.el' small, but annoying bug

I reproduced Paul's problem the first time I tried, but had problems
reproducing it again.  This made me curious, so I did as you
suggested, and found eldoc to be a possible problem -- or more
precisely eldoc-pre-command-refresh-echo-area.  The buffer you kill
must be an emacs-lisp buffer, I guess.

Reproducible scenario:

   GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll
   bars) of 2004-11-16 on uelinux

Put the lines 

   (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'turn-on-eldoc-mode)
   (ido-mode)

into the file

   ~/tmp/foo.el

and do

   emacs -Q -l ~/tmp/foo.el ~/tmp/foo.el

in the emacs window, do

   C-x b <return> C-x b C-k

and the minibuffer is empty.  

(The first C-x b switches to the *scratch* buffer, in the second we
kill foo.el)
