"This" being what?

I assumed that "refuses to do anything useful" means you cannot visit
a file, edit it, and save it. That works for me, both in 24.3 and the
current trunk. FWIW, I did
HOME=/whatever emacs -Q
and in that session I could visit files, edit them, and save them.
Sure, Emacs bitched at me at startup, but that's it.

Sorry for having been so imprecise. With "refuses to do anything
useful" I meant that it didn't load the crontab. There is only the
scratch buffer. Seems that I encountered the bug you fixed.
I'll try the version in trunk tomorrow.
Thanks,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.

Dear Glenn,
I installed emacs-24.3.50 now and it works like a charm.
Thanks again,
Reinhard

It "worked for me" since I didn't test with enough command line
arguments to see that the processing of the command line would be
incomplete in 24.3.

It's become clear in the meantime that the bug is indeed that file(s)
given on the command line won't open in 24.3. You can still work on
them once Emacs has started and complained about the non-writable
~/.emacs.d/, though.
Regards,
Achim.
