Doh.. use --debug-init

There seem to have been some conflict with extview.el.  Commenting out
following lines seems to solve the problem:

,----
| ;; for invoking external viewers from within dired
| (require 'extview)
|
| ;; (push '("\\.pdf$" . "acroread %s") extview-application-associations)
| (push '("\\.html$" . ask) extview-application-associations)
| (push '("\\.doc$" . "C:/PROGRA~1/OFFICE11/WINWORD.EXE %s")
extview-application-associations)
| (push '("\\.xls$" . "C:/PROGRA~1/OFFICE11/EXCEL.EXE %s")
extview-application-associations)
| (push '("\\.pdf$" . "C:/PROFRA~1/Adobe/Reader\\
8\\.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe %s") extview-application-associations)
`----

I have had extview since Emacs 22, may be it is not needed anymore
with the recent change about special ways of opening files.. Will have
to test it.

Sorry for the noise.
