I have a strange situation on my laptop.

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04, with Emacs 24.5.1. I'm also using the latest development branch from the org-mode git repository (latest changes pulled today).

Recently, for some unknown reason, emacs suddenly started to hang on startup. Placing some output messages in my .emacs file I was able to narrow it down to this line:

    (require 'org)

Loading org-mode hangs Emacs for some reason. If I remove the above line from .emacs then Emacs will start as normal (although without org-mode, obviously).

I tried creating a minimal-org.el file with the following contents:

    ;; activate debugging
    (setq debug-on-error t
          debug-on-signal nil
          debug-on-quit nil)

    ;; add latest org-mode to load path
    (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/elisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp" t))

And then running:

    $ emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el

...but I still get the same result (Emacs hangs when I run `M-x (require 'org)`).

Can anyone help tell me what's wrong, or suggest how I try and track down the problem?
