Additional information: After I sent out my email, I realized I had a freshly built and updated FC3 Linux box, taltos, sitting in my lab. I created a user, and copied my truncated JDEE only .emacs and install-jde to it. I ran "install-jde -sv" and jde works on that machine.
("Works" meaing I can load a sort Java program, see "JDE" in the mode
line, and find jde-* functions when I invoke M-x. I am seeing error
messages like this:
(iconify-frame (#<frame [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0x8531918\ >))
(make-frame-visible (#<frame [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0x8531918\ >))
but that's another issue.)

I used install-jde, and it appears that portions were compiled
(defined as showing one or more .elc extension files) (common, ede,
eieio, speedbar) and others not (cogre, contrib, semantic). On taltos,
all the cedet directories show .elc extensions.
Of the three files mentioned in the stack trace,
cedet/semantic/semantic-fw.el and cedet/semantic/semantic-load.el were
not compiled on my desktop, but were on taltos, the test
machine. jde/lisp/jde.el was not compiled on either.

On taltos, it returns "". On my desktop, it did not lock up, but
returned:
--------------------------------------------------
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Variable binding depth exceeds
max-specpdl-size")
regexp-opt-group(nil t t)
regexp-opt-group(nil t t)
regexp-opt-group(nil t t)
regexp-opt-group(nil t t)
regexp-opt-group(nil t t)

regexp-opt(nil t)
eval((regexp-opt nil t))
eval-last-sexp-1(nil)
eval-last-sexp(nil)
call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)
--------------------------------------------------
Based on that, I ran on the test machine:
--------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] cedet]$ ll $(locate regexp-opt.el)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4959 Mar 18 2003
/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.elc
--------------------------------------------------
And on the desktop:
--------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] site-lisp]# ll $(locate regexp-opt.el)
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4959 Mar 18 2003
/usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/regexp-opt.elc
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9607 Oct 6 2004
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/regexp-opt.el
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3701 Oct 6 2004
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacspeak/lisp/regexp-opt.elc
--------------------------------------------------
I conjectured I was picking up the emacspeak version of regex-opt
before the other one. I don't use emacspeak, so I removed it. I then
shut emacs down and fired it up again, and evaluated "(regexp-opt nil
t)" and got "". I am now getting other errors.
I conjecture that one problem caused by the buggy regex-opt is the
failure to comple all of cedet on installation. I will remove my
existing installation and try again. If I have further problems I
can't get past, I'll be back.
Thanks for your help and your quick response.
