 @vindex load-dangerous-libraries
 @cindex Lisp files byte-compiled by XEmacs
-  By default, Emacs refuses to load compiled Lisp files which weren't
-compiled with Emacs.  This is because an incompatible change was
-introduced into XEmacs' byte compiler, which could produce files with
-byte codes that cause Emacs to crash.  Set the variable
-@code{load-dangerous-libraries} to t if you want to change this
-behavior.
