I have experimented some more with different versions of Emacs,
including one built from the latest CVS sources (i686-pc-linux-gnu),
and I have now found one way to avoid this echo area blocking: All is
well while I'm using Emacs 22 in a virtual terminal.
I still see the bug when I'm in X, even with an Emacs without X
support running in an xterm. It's the same on several GNU/Linux
systems, so I don't think I have misconfigured something.
