Garbled documentation

With a very recent ILISP from CVS and FSF Emacs 21.2 on Linux I can
reproduce the following behaviour:

1. Start Emacs with emacs -q

2. In the *scratch* buffer execute these two forms:

     (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ilisp")
                           load-path))

     (setq lisp-mode-hook '(lambda () (require 'ilisp)))

   [The first form is obviously only necessary for my specific setup.]

3. Load some random Lisp file, say, /tmp/foo.lisp.

4. Press C-h k M-q

Now the contents of the *Help* buffer look rather strange:

  M-q runs the command reindent-lisp
     which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `ilisp-all.elc'.
  (reindent-lisp)

  fvar lisp-wait-p nil (#$ . -2260))
  #@301 *T if all output goes to the inferior LISP rather than in a pop-up window.
  '(quote message) if you want output of one line to go to the echo area
  (usually the Minibuffer) or to a pop-up window if more.  You should
  probably also set comint-always-scroll to T as well so that output is
  always visible.

I see garbled documentation with ILISP functions, too. Is anybody else
having this problem?

Cheers,
Edi.
