Subject: bug#1763: 23.0.60; Customization buffers shows up empty

Whenever I try to customize a variable using M-x customize-variable,
the customization buffer that opens up is empty. The actual output
(the text, buttons etc) that I expect to see in the customization
buffer is usually in the file I had open when I ran the
customize-variable command. This happens consistently for me with
version 23 cvs trunk configured with --with-ns. I am using a Mac OS X
10.4

In the current case, I ran customize-variable while I was looking at
toggle.el. The customization buffer came up empty but the actual
buttons/text now show up in toggle.el.
