You have 21.3.50 from CVS?  I have a stable 21.4.1 version!  But I
tried out 22.0.50 from cvs and: it NEVER does show me an 'ü'.
Instead it always displays the code: \374 in the latin-1 file, and
\303\274 in the UTF-8 file.

Specifying the coding system in the headerline doesn't change
anything: buffer-file-coding-system's value remains raw-text-unix.

C-h k C-x RET r is undefined
-->  C-x RET r is undefined
