Whoever installed /usr/lib/emacs/site-list/default.el on Keesh on
Feb. 28 (two days after I reinstalled the machine) left it
not-world-readable.  I fixed this.

After I fixed it, I thought it was weird that both of these files
existed:

/usr/lib/emacs/site-lisp% ls -l default.el site-init.el
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         2845 Feb 28 13:19 default.el
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         2397 Feb 26 05:37 site-init.el

I installed site-init.el from /mit/linux/packages.  A bit of detective
work revealed that default.el also came from there:

/mit/linux/packages% ls -l default.el site-init.el 
-rw-r--r--   1 ghudson  root         2845 Feb  5 13:10 default.el
-rw-r--r--   1 svalente root         2397 Sep 30 23:51 site-init.el

default.el is newer and better, so I nuked site-init.el from both
/mit/linux/packages and Keesh's local disk.

Have a nice day.
