Thanks.  These "ad-*" functions in the Lisp backtrace look strange:
they seem to indicate that defadvice is used somewhere, but I cannot
see any such defadvice's in the lisp/url directory.  Can you look
around and try to find where are those defadvice's?

Also, it would be good to know what package is being loaded in the
last line above, which says "load-library", and what feature is being
required in the "require" line before that.  Can you try to find out?
The way to do that is identify the frames in the C backtrace that
correspond to these lines in the Lisp backtrace.  For example, the
innermost call to Frequire would probably correspond to the "require"
line.  Then print the first argument (with `pr') and see what it is.
For load-library, the "load" (Fload in C) line that preceeds it will
tell you via its 1st arg what file is being loaded.

Perhaps this information will show where do those ad-* things come
from.

Thanks again for working on this.
