@vindex load-dangerous-libraries
@cindex Lisp files byte-compiled by XEmacs
- By default, Emacs refuses to load compiled Lisp files which weren't
-compiled with Emacs. This is because an incompatible change was
-introduced into XEmacs' byte compiler, which could produce files with
-byte codes that cause Emacs to crash. Set the variable
-@code{load-dangerous-libraries} to t if you want to change this
-behavior.
