Your message says that Emacs is looking for a function with the same
name, which is not defined.  Check your configuration if you have
somewhere:

    (ispell-tex-skip-alist ...

Note the opening parenthesis.

With the code above, TeX will complain as well ;-)  How do you define
your new environment?  If you're using 

    \newmdenv[<options>]{kasten}

put this in your init file:

    (setq TeX-parse-self t)

restart Emacs (without your addition), open you're .tex file, hit `C-c
C-n' and try it again.  mdframed.el has some code to add new
environments like "kasten" to ispell skip list, i.e. in
`ispell-tex-skip-alists', you should have an entry like:

    ("kasten" ispell-tex-arg-end 0)

The length of your .tex document is not relevant for the error message
above; unless you have local variables with lisp code to be evaluated in
your .tex files.

Normal procedure is to start Emacs with `-q' switch, paste your code in
scratch buffer, evaluate it, do `M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET' and
invoke the error and see what Emacs says.

And I can't reproduce what you describe.
