A hypothesis for what is happening is that a symbol with position,
looking like:
#<symbol foo at 666>
, has somehow got into a .elc file. The loader (contained within the
file .../src/lread.c) chokes when it encounters such a symbol.
If you have an idea which .elc file might be causing the trouble, could
I suggest you visit this file within Emacs. There is a mode for .elc
files. :-). Then search the buffer for the string "#<symbol". Or even
just for the "#<" which the loader might have reported.
