Probably a command which starts with `quietly'
might be as troublesome as any other command.

To avoid trouble, I see just one way: To do the
unthinkable, never conceived before...

Following the troublesome path it seems useful to look
for the problem at stake: The question why
`read-abbrev-file' fails in certain
circumstances. (Assume, because the C-function
inserts the DIR as default if it receives "".)
