bug#38309: Recent $EMACSLOADPATH changes crash gnome-session

After upgrading my packages today, gnome-session started segfaulting. I think I 
finally tracked the problem down to the recent changes in how Emacs searches 
for packages. Apparently Emacs now uses the search path $EMACSLOADPATH. 
Unfortunately, this is a very long value on my system:

$ echo $EMACSLOADPATH | wc -c
22525

When I add `unset EMACSLOADPATH` to the end of `~/.profile`, GNOME works again.
