I'm sure this a FAQ -- can someone point me to information on how to
debug elisp during the Emacs startup process?
I'm trying to debug Emacs.app for GNUstep, and it looks like there is
a problem in the windowing system initialization process. The menu
displays, but no main window, and the window won't do anything.
I've tried starting emacs -nw, then (debug-on-entry
'make-frame-on-display), but I only get so far before it just hangs on
me.
Thanks,
Chris Hall

You're probably better off debugging it at the C level.

Ouch.
Are there some tips available somewhere, or it basically a matter of
setting a breakpoint in 'Feval' (or similar) then laboriously
examining whatever is on the stack?
Thanks,
