When I do
    M-x electric-command-history
I get
    Wrong number of arguments: (lambda (lisp-syntax) (byte-code "^H\205"))

(I can't tell if there is a carat and a backslash in the message or if
those are C-h and ASCII 205.  Is there some way to get an error
message to print into an emacs buffer you can get at instead of it
just having a transitory existence below the mode line?)

The behavior I have described occurred even when the command was the
first thing I did after an "emacs -q".

The emacs version I am using is
    GNU Emacs 18.50.8 of Sat Mar 26 1988 on allspice (berkeley-unix)
