With emacs-18.55 and X11R4, the beep from a key bound to 'undefined is
sometimes delayed until next keystroke.  Or rather until next X event
or something, I suppose.  Undefined keys beep at once.

There is no delay if the *previous* command displayed a message in the
minibuffer.  But just scrolling or switcing buffer does not help.

If the *beeping* key does more than just beep, such as scrolling, its
beep is not delayed.

Machine + window manager:  Sun3 + twm/rwm,  DECstation + twm.

Reproduce:

emacs -q
M-X info	("Loading info...")
"z"		(beep)
"a"		(no beep this time)
"x"		(beep for the "a")
Press SHIFT orCONTROL, or move the mouse out of the window:
		(beep for the "x")

"z"		(beep)
"a"		(no beep)
"1"		(beep for the "a" and select new node)
"x"		(no beep)
