Emacs appears to hang

[Robert J. Chassell]

In today's CVS snapshot, Wed, 2002 Jul 17  15:13 UTC,
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.110 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit)


In *scratch* buffer, insert these three lines:

line 1
line 2
line 3

Place cursor over middle line; open line using C-o (open-line).
Kill opened line using C-k (kill-line).

Nothing appears to happen: line appears unkilled.

Type a C-l (recenter) or C-g (keyboard-quit) command 
and then you can see that the line was actually killed.

Here is the backtrace:
