bug#615: 23.0.60; tabbar.el 2.0 lets Emacs.app crash

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Having

        (load-library "tabbar")
        (tabbar-mode t)

in a file loaded via 'emacs/nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -- 
debug-init -Q -l ~/.emacs-init.el &' let Emacs.app crash,  
particularly the second line. RC versions *did* not all work fine:  
RC3 has the same behaviour.
