The problem was that I actually looked at the right spot in my custom.el
file before - but could not see the mistake (/.../mylisp/.../ vs.
/.../myLisp/.../ in a long directory name).

So single stepping in the debugger was just the right thing to do, since
it showed me that there must be something wrong with the filename, not
the file format.

Thanks again.
