422*** Using epop3.el package causes Emacs to signal an error.
423
424The error message might be something like this:
425
426 "Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth"
427
428This happens because epop3 redefines the function gethash, which is a
429built-in primitive beginning with Emacs 21.1. We don't have a patch
430for epop3 to fix it, but perhaps a newer version of epop3 corrects that.

432*** Buffers from 'with-output-to-temp-buffer' get set up in Help mode.
433
434Changes in Emacs 20.4 to the hooks used by that function cause
435problems for some packages, specifically BBDB. See the function's
436documentation for the hooks involved. BBDB 2.00.06 fixes the problem.

438*** The Hyperbole package causes *Help* buffers not to be displayed in
439Help mode due to setting 'temp-buffer-show-hook' rather than using
440'add-hook'. Using '(add-hook 'temp-buffer-show-hook 'help-mode-finish)'
441after loading Hyperbole should fix this.

580This was a known problem with some old versions of the Semantic package.

58323.2, and this issue does not apply to the included version.
