Sorry, but I'm unable to tell what's wrong from the provided information. Since Emacs starts fine from 'emacs -Q', you could try to track down which part of your initialization file is causing the error. Either way, if you've found that the error stems from commit 6aa04a5, I think that it deserves it's own bug ticket instead of discussing it here, since it's unrelated to bug #21488. When you report it, I think it would be good to include a backtrace to make it easier to track down the cause of the error. -- Simen
