Yes, it means invoke Emacs with the -Q command-line switch.

Yes, it does.  But we have to find out what causes that error.

If using -Q doesn't make this problem go away, please tell how up to
date is your Emacs code.  If you checked out the CVS tree yourself,
please tell at what date you did that.  If you got the sources from
someone else, please tell what is the first entry that you see in the
file lisp/ChangeLog.
