refill-mode disables spacebar?

[Edward Dodge]

I recently compiled EMACS for OSX off the CVS tree TWICE.  Once from
the most recent code,  and another time from the code from November
1, 2002.

GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin5.5)

Everything seems to be working fine,  but when I put this:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'refill-mode)

In my .emacs,  the spacebar refuses to work in .txt files:

"Nowisthetimeforallgoodmenttocometotheaidoftheircountry."

If I edit within a paragraph that already has spaces,  refill works
just fine and spaces are inserted correctly.  Any ideas out there?
