... this is what I have - I copied from memory, sorry. I am not even 
clear what exactly triggers the error

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument consp nil) 
  signal(wrong-type-argument (consp nil)) 
  signal-error(wrong-type-argument (consp nil)) 
  normal-top-level() 

-- is there any way to find out in the elisp debugger? Since edebug 
needs "instrumenting", I guess it won't work for debugging startup, and 
I have not been able to trigger the issue by loading guided-tour.el 
into a vanill axemacs.

Cheerio,
hauke
