Instead of doing the search by hand, wouldn't it be better to teach
'load' to ignore directories? Or do we have a use case where finding
a directory in 'load' would make sense?
IOW, isn't "'load' prefers directories" the actual problem we should
fix, rather than only fixing the startup problem?
I do agree that the file-exists-p test in command-line-1 should be
replaced with a test that doesn't let directories through. But I
don't understand why using locate-file here is a good idea.
Thanks.
