If you already have epoch installed, you can occasionally get into trouble
because epoch will search the installed lisp directories when it dumps.  If
the installed  version is sufficiently ancient, you can run into
problems that look kind of like this.  My solution was to move
the installed  lisp directories out of the way while temacs dumps.

I was installing from 4.0p0 to 4.0p1: is that "sufficiently
ancient"?

PLEASE CAN THE NEXT RELEASED BE CALLED 4.1?
