Well,

Loading the other versions was what was "intended" for eieio. Indeed
that could be changed now because I presume that current Emacs has a
recent enough eieio, and anyway balance did not really needed that
recent one, I just did that in my init.el because of jdee.

Anyway, I don't think that this is the problem, with the -Q option I do
not tamper with the default load-path, so those lines in balance.el will
load the package that are bundled with Emacs, not any other ones. Won't
they? But still I have the hanging with -Q.

  Vincent.
