Locating an emacs bug

I have a bug in some elisp code that...

- does not show up when emacs is started with -Q
- shows up when started with -q
- does not show up in emacs 24
- shows up in normal starup of 23

I tried making the permissions of all files in /etc/emacs/site-start.d to
000
But it did not change

So what else does -q load that -Q does not?

X resources, site-start.el.

Thanks Andreas!

I did not have any .Xresources in my home
Nor could find any non-empty site-start.el files
I find many files in site-lisp (I can see at least 3 of these directories)

However when I removed .Xdefaults the problem went away.
The offending line being:
