Bug Description

Jay Borkenhagen (2012-12-04) reports:

I just used set-variable to set debug-ignored-errors to nil,
started vm, then hit "m" bound to vm-mail, and instantly the
minibuffer contains nothing but "End of file while parsing".

At this point I double-checked, and indeed debug-ignored-errors _is_
set to nil, and it had not been set that way when first starting up
emacs.

Looking in the *Messages* buffer showed:

vmpc-load-auto-profiles: End of file during parsing

Checking vm-pcrisis.el, it looked like vmpc-load-auto-profiles was
trying to load vmpc-auto-profiles-file (default .vmpc-auto-profiles),
which was an empty file. I removed it, and restarted emacs -- now it
no longer gives that "End of file while parsing" error.

(Now I'm wondering whether you might want to tweak
vmpc-load-auto-profiles to give a more explicit error message if
vmpc-auto-profiles-file exists but is empty.)
