The car of each of the sublists is supposed to be a string (a pathname) and the cdr is supposed to be a list of dotted pairs of the form (require . something) Apparently, your load-history fails to conform by having a sublist that's missing the pathname and starting with a dotted pair. I think you should check load-history after every load and see where it goes awry. -- Nick
