C-h b in article buffer?

C-h b in article buffer?

[Norman Walsh]

I've noticed this before and it's darned well time I reported it ;-)

In the article buffer, if I hit C-h b I get

  Invalid character: 1600000, 0, 0x82f87c

Is it just me?

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm

Nope, I get
Signaling: (error "Invalid character: 1600000, -1073747900, 0x8065e7b")
  describe-bindings-internal(nil nil)
  describe-bindings(nil)

Setup=pgnus-0.95 Emacs 20.3 Redhat Linux 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36-3)

Not happening here.  I just get the normal bindings buffer.
Tried in following situations ..plugged, unplugged, nnml, nntp   all work.

Just to be complete, I don't get this in the new FSF Emacs 20.4 with
pgnus 0.95

GNU Emacs 20.4.1 (i586-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of Fri Jul 16 1999 on

No, it is not just you.  The full backtrace isn't much more complicated
than what you reported:

Signaling: (error "Invalid character: 1600000, 0, 0xd2f6f4")
  describe-bindings-internal(nil nil)
  describe-bindings(nil)
  call-interactively(describe-bindings)

FWIW, I'm not getting this with 0.95 on Emacs 20.3.11 (the 20.4 pretest).

Nor does it happen with XEmacs 21.1.4.
