autoload problem in calendar?

[John ffitch]

When I try to start emacs on this machine the diary does not work.

The backtrace is
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function 
diary-font-lock-keywords")
  diary-font-lock-keywords()
  font-lock-eval-keywords(diary-font-lock-keywords)

  diary()
  (cond ((null ...) (diary)))
  eval((cond ((null ...) (diary))))

  kmacro-call-macro(nil nil)
  kmacro-end-and-call-macro(nil)
  call-interactively(kmacro-end-and-call-macro)

The initialisation code is

(cond ((null (cdr command-line-args)) (diary)))

The code is the same as on my other machines (I will check that in more
detail soon)

It used to work a few days ago, ad in emacs 21

There is not the vaguest truth in this.
  I have not even speculated on it with the Dean/VC/etc,
  so I don't know where it comes from.
