bug#11847: 24.1.50; Error: Don't know how to compile #[nil "..."]

[Drew Adams]

Started up the latest Windows binary, with my setup (not emacs -Q), and
immediately was presented with multiple "Error: Don't know how to
compile #[...]" messages in buffer `*Compile Log*.

The buffer is 161185 chars long (most of them binary, not printable
except as control chars, but some of the text seems to be from doc
strings).  That's 1154 very long lines.
 
Something seems very rotten in the State of Emacs.  It needs to calm
down, methinks.
 
My startup sequence loads some libraries, but it does not try to compile
anything.
