A shot in the dark: Emacs' use of gnu-tls libraries is relatively new; 
can you reproduce the behavior without invoking the tls libraries?  
For example, try an emacs without using erc-tls, (and without gnus 
or w3, if you use those)?

If you use recentf, then you can mine 'recentf-list (or ~/.recentf) for 
a list of files to load that probably just involve programming modes.
