Hi Reiner,
.../share/emacs/site-lisp is in the load path, even with `-Q'. One
has to keep that in mind. Which I didn't do either. ;)
Hm, wouldn't it be sensible to remove it from `load-path' if -Q was
given?
I think so. See

| Hi,

| `load-path'. Although the manual (cmdargs.texi [1]) doesn't say
| anything about `subdirs.el' (it's not mentioned in the manual at

| `load-path'. E.g. I have some other Gnus version installed in
| site-lisp. I'd expect Gnus 5.11 from Emacs 22 after `M-x gnus RET',
| but I get the version from site-lisp.

Well, if that's Richard's opinion, that's fine. But there should be
some option (i.e. --vanilla, -V) which is like -Q and does not load any
external packages.
