I just byte-compiled them all.  Or maybe I just edited the one file
and byte-compiled it.  Perhaps that's the problem?

There were other stuff, but I move them all out of the way.  Some of
them may have been put there using the package manager.  I don't
really remember.

I'll have to look.  My .emacs/.xemacs probably has stuff going back
that far. :-)

Yep.  I have some (push <somepath> load-path) for oo-browser.  Haven't
used that in ages.  And some other stuff.

Nope.

    sjt> That's very strange.

Yeah, I should look into this more, but leaving off -vanilla works
pretty well, so motivation is low.

Ok.  I should have done that to begin with, but I wanted ask about
this first.
