Strange error after M-x package-list-packages

[Mateusz B]

Hi,

my Emacs 24.1 installation was running fine until the following error 
started showing every time I did M-x package-list-packages:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid hash table rehash size" 1.0)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil 
"/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" nil t)  ; Reading at 
buffer position 38650
load-with-code-conversion("/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" 
"/home/mateusz/emacs/emacs-24.2/lisp/finder-inf.el" t t)
  require(finder-inf nil t)
  package-list-packages(nil)
  call-interactively(package-list-packages t nil)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)

I downloaded and compiled 24.2 version to check if it occurs there and 
it was there, right after compilation (and /src/emacs -Q). The bottom of 
traces are a bit different actually, my normal installation runs smex, 
but above everything is the same. What could it be? What to do now?

Thanks in advance,
Earendil
