if it was, then you would have some error message in the *Messages*
buffer after startup.  You could also start emacs as "emacs
--debug-init" to get a backtrace of the error.

,----[ (info "(emacs)Initial Options") ]
| `--debug-init'
|      Enable the Emacs Lisp debugger for errors in the init file.  *Note
