Thanks Bernt,

So, "broken custom settings" appear to be the cause of the unexpected  
behavior.  Two questions:

1) Do programmers have a name for this situation, where custom  
settings seemed to work perfectly for a long time but then failed  
noticeably with the introduction of new, correct code into the .emacs?

2) Is there a useful strategy for finding the minimal .emacs that  
illustrates the failure?  I might have 100 customizations in the  
various starter kit configuration files.  If combinations of  
customizations are a possibility, I'm looking at quite a bit of random  
experimentation without some kind of strategy.

All the best,
Tom
