The fact that it crashes also without the load-path modification
suggests that it could just be a coincidence, and the contents of
"~/.emacs.d/lisp/" is not really important.  I think we need a C level
backtrace to make progress.  Testing with 26.0.91 could also be useful,
it's possible this is some bug that's already been fixed...
