Well, the presumably broken lisp definitions from the .emcas file then
still persist in the computer memory, they aren't overwritten.

Without ~/.emacs it works?  Why don't you show your complete .emacs
file, maybe somebody sees immediately what's wrong with it (and has
the time to help)?

By the way, it would probably be best starting .emacs from scratch and
using for that purpose the Emacs customisation facility.  Have a look
under the Options menu -> Customize Emacs.
