problem with GNU Emacs 21

When I change the default font through the menu (Options->Customize
Emacs->Specific Face, select the default face-selection: all) and restart
GNU Emacs, GNU Emacs complains about the variable binding depth exceeding
the max-specpdl-size while loading my .emacs file (see attachment
"emacs.err").

The message buffer content can be found in the attachment "emacs.log". I ran
also "GNU Emacs --debug-init" as suggested and the message buffer content of
that session is in "emacs1.log".

When I remove the line "(default ((t (:stipple ...." from the .emacs file,
everything works fine.
