cat > ~/foo.el <<EOF
(defadvice beginning-of-buffer (before deactivate-mark activate)
  "Add friendly greeting."
  (message "Hello world.  This function is advised")
  (sit-for 1))
EOF

emacs -Q -l ~/foo.el
C-h f beginning-of-buffer

Emacs says that this function is advised and it displays the
docstring of the advice. But the original docstring of
beginning-of-buffer is not displayed.

No such problem with emacs 23.1 which displays both the original
docstring and the docstring of the advice.

It is for me in the current trunk. Yours is somewhat old.

Thanks, you are right. I recompiled using the current trunk.
Docstrings are now again displayed as expected.
