I don't see why I would suddenly have mixed paths in my .emacs file -- though
this can always happen, as it is changed almost daily, here and there.

I don't use compiled files, so problem is not that.

load-path's value is
(...
"c:/home/sva/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp"
"c:/home/sva/src/org-mode/lisp"
...
"c:/Program Files/Emacs-24.0/lisp/org"
...)

Library is file ~/src/org-mode/lisp/org-compat.el

Library is file ~/src/org-mode/lisp/org.el

It's not obvious what I would have changed for getting this now... but I'll
diff my emacs config files, if you say you don't have such a problem.

Best regards,
