To tell the truth, I was amazed at the frequency these problems happen.  
If I had anticipated it, I would have put some code to let the error 
message show in such cases.  (It is not by any means a trivial task, 
since the .elc file in question gets loaded like every other Emacs Lisp 
file, and it doesn't know that Emacs will exit immediately if it isn't 
found.  The error message *is* dislplayed, but Emacs exits and erases the
screen before you have the time to see the message.)

This problem doesn't exist in the next version of Emacs, since that file 
is already loaded into emacs.exe.
