I set debug-on-error to t, but no *Backtrace* buffer was created.
The *Messages* buffer includes the following:
(C:\Program Files\emacs\bin\emacs.exe)
Loading c:.emacs_common...

Loading regexp-opt...done
Loading font-lock...done
Loading pc-mode...done

Loading delsel...done

My version of emacs is GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of
2004-03-10 on NYAUMO.
Thanks for your help.
