# which emacs

tells

/usr/bin/emacs

Which is _not_ the emacs reported.

However, error occurs there too.

But another strange thing herewith:

C-u emacs-version says

GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7) of 2014-03-07 
on toyol, modified by Debian

where "toyol" if definitely not the HOSTNAME - and never set by me...

Thanks!
