Hope this helps.  This was with my setup.  AFAIK, I had used
`debug-on-entry' for only one function.

I then did `M-x cancel-debug-on-entry RET', and Emacs took a
long time to return (used lots of CPU).  I tried it again, and
got the backtrace.

I then did `M-x cancel-debug-on-entry' and instead of
hitting RET I hit TAB.  `nil' appeared as the default for
the function whose debugging is to be canceled.

Both that and the backtrace show that somehow
`debugger-list-functions' is returning the list `(nil)'.
No idea why.  AFAIK, I do not fiddle with any such list of functions
or such advice.

Have you hit this since then? I can't find a way to reproduce this funny
state.

No, I don't think so.

I'm closing this ticket then.
