It worked in 20.7, but it doesn't in 21.1.  I found that the
following my change is the reason.

2000-08-30  Kenichi Handa  <handa@etl.go.jp>

        * international/quail.el (quail-start-translation): Bind locally
        last-command-event, last-command, and this-command.

Binding them locally itself was ok, but the place to bind
them was wrong.  The fix is:

(1) Bind them to nil in the first let of
    quail-start-translation.

(2) Change the code that is currently binding them to:
    (progn
      (setq ...)

Could someone please install a proper fix?  The same change
should be done for quail-start-conversion too.

I agree that we should implement such a feature.   I'll add
it in my todo list.

PS.  By the way, it seems that I can come back to the work
of normal Emacs maintenance soon.
