Can't reproduce "it", although I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed
to reproduce.  I did the following:

  % touch ~/diary
  % emacs -q --eval '(progn (global-font-lock-mode 1) (diary))'

and didn't get any error.  What error do you get?  Can you get a backtrace
for it?

I don't see why that should be a problem,
