Using Emacs 18.55, I called dump-emacs to create a dump. Running that dump,
with the environment variable EMACSLOADPATH set to

  ( "~/nfs/EMACS" "~" "/usr/lib/emacs/lisp" )

emacs came up with its load-path variable set to

  ("( \"~/nfs/EMACS\" \"~\" \"/usr/lib/emacs/lisp\" )")

which obviously confused the load function.


Unsetting EMACSLOADPATH gave the correct default (from path.h) in
the load-path variable.


Related Question: Is there a way to make the dumped emacs read some initial
file ? It ignores .emacs and the "-l <file>" command line option.
