"symbol's function definition is void: generic-character-list" from eshell of 23.0.60.2

Hi all

I'm using 23.0.60.2 of emacs compiled a few days ago, and I'm trying to invoke
eshell. But when I run "M-x eshell" it returns the following message:
    symbol's function definition is void: generic-character-list
on the minibuffer, and no command prompt appears on "*eshell*" buffer. 
Do I forget to set something necessary to use eshell of 23.0.60.2 though it run
on 23.0.50 without setting anything special.
Does anybody have the similar issue? Are there any workarounds for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Can you reproduce it when you launch GNU Emacs as 'emacs -Q' or as  
'emacs -q', with or without & ?

For me it does not happen. I presume you have something set ...

Thanks a lot for your advice, Pete. Your advice helped me find out a bug in my init
file (.emacs file). The way you told me such as 'emacs -Q or -q' was really effective.
Actually, there was a path to a directory containing lisp codes for an older emacs at
the end of "load-path" setting in my init file. So I removed the path from the "load-path"
setting, and eshell started running normally ;-)
Again, many thanks, Pete.
