Hi,

Somewhere between g5c0fb39 and gfa5a9c7, evaluating the following
results in an empty prompt:

  (y-or-n-p "foo? ")

I'm guessing g5dc644a, as it touches the minibuffer

I think it's fixed now,

Not quite:

  (setq echo-keystrokes 0.1)
  (y-or-n-p "foo? ")

In the minibuffer all I see is my echoed keystrokes (in this case `C-x
C-e-` from evalling the form in *scratch*). This happens erratically.
Seems to happen more consistently the smaller `echo-keystrokes` is.

I can produce what is reported in Message #27 predictably with the
default `echo-keystrokes' value (1). 944d77f0 also results in other
problems which seem to be closely related to this one.

Hmm... this is a different problem.  I'll take a look at it,

Should be fixed now,
