Then please check the value of terminal-coding-system with those two
versions of Emacs-CVS.  Also give us the *date* of the version of Emacs-CVS
you call 21.3.50 (both names Emacs-21.3.50 Emacs-22.0.5 just refer to
Emacs-CVS and give us close to no info about which revision it is).

Once this is done, please try to set-terminal-coding-system to see which
value it should take.

My reply was not meant to say that your problem doesn't exist.  I was just
trying to help you help us better diagnose the problem.

As I said, it's just a symptom.  Loading disp-table is a completely
normal event.  I'd even argue that it should be preloaded.
