Please help me debug my Emacs initialization file

Please help me debug my Emacs initialization file

[Davin Pearson]

Here is the file ~/Binaries/runmacs that I use for loading emacs

!/bin/bash
date
cd ~/Downloads/emacs-29.1/src && ./emacs -q --eval "(setq debug-on-error
t)" --debug-init --load "~/java-training-wheels/dmp-emacs--no-init-file.el"
&

Here is a tarball for you to load and execute:

http://davin.50webs.com/java-training-wheels.tar.gz

Extract the tarball:
cd && tar fvx java-training-wheels.tar.gz

Here is the error message that occurs when you run it:

byte-code: Recursive ‘require’ for feature ‘semantic’

This error occurs immediately after the checkpoint:

&safe-require:15014:

in the file ~/java-training-wheels/dlisp/new-code/dmp-safe--require.el.
It gives similar error messages when you execute the following commands:

C-x C-f
M-/
M-.
C-h a
C-s

Why doesn't it show a backtrace since I have --debug-init on the command
line?

NOTE: I have removed the following sentence from my Website

Zealand's foremost exponent of Stallman's GNU Emacs text editor." in
the hope that it will attract more people in the newsgroup
gnu.emacs.help to reply to this message.

Recursive, maybe that means in the file semantic.el, you
`require' something, that requires semantic.el?

So that's why I'm not getting any replies.

Try removing the '--eval "(setq debug-on-error t)"' part from the
command line.  --debug-init arranges to report errors while loading
the init file, but setting debug-on-error to a non-default value
causes it to disable its smarts, since it assumes that the user knew
what they were doing.
