You do not need to both require and load a file, BTW.

This appears to be the same problem as was recently reported on
gnu.emacs.help for the External/Processes custom group.

The problem is caused by gnuserv.el containing functions with names
that conflict with those in server.el (a standard part of Emacs), and
using one of those functions in a strange way (server-kill-buffer
overrides kill-buffer, instead of the conventional way of
supplementing standard behaviour by installing as a hook).

To customize entries in those groups, you will have to disable
gnuserv and restart Emacs first. You can then re-enable gnuserv after
you have finished customizing.
