Thanks. Strangely, when I tried with the new mu file in place I got a
blank screen forever and no interaction, as if it were in an infinite
loop. The last message was "loaded /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50psvn.el".
Quitting and repeating made no difference. Then as soon as I placed
(setq debug-on-quit t) in my .emacs, it started working.

I just run what "sudo apt-get install emacs-snapshot-dbg" gives me.
These days I'm reluctant to install/upgrad large software packages
other than via the ubuntu repository. When something goes wrong
it's a daunting task to fix it...
