Dear Bug Team;
I am getting a persistent "init.el" file error when I start
xemacs. This bug persists even if I completely delete the init.el and
replace it with a nul file, or if I comment out virtually
everything. Deleting the init.el produces the expected results: An
error.
Validating the init.el with xemac's lisp produces no errors, nor does
back tracing.
One consistant fact: Regardless of the existance or state of the
init.el, an error is produced and xemacs quits its processing of
config files. (i.e. the custom.el etc. doesn't get processed.)
Final note: I have also removed my old ".emacs" file to see if that
changed anything. It didn't.
