Error during ask-user-about-lock

[Marshall, Simon]

src/emacs -Q and eval:

Visit a file that you have modified in another emacs session.  Emacs asks
what you want to do about the lock.  Hit "?" to popup the *Help* window in a
new frame.  After the frame has appeared, I get an immediate:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Non-character input-event")
