Emacs error "Symbol's function definition is void: lazy-lock-mode"- solved

After the last round of online updates on my openSUSE 10.3 development
machine, Emacs had difficulties opening C source files. It displayed
the error message

Symbol's function definition is void: lazy-lock-mode

in the minibuffer and didn't display the file until I switched to its
buffer explicitly with C-x b (or by just opening it a second time).

Turns out the update to emacs-22.1-40.4 replaced /etc/skel/.gnu-emacs
with a new version, but my own ~/.gnu-emacs file was of course not
updated and was therefore incompatible with the updated Emacs.
Copying the new .gnu-emacs file from /etc/skel to my home directory
fixed the problem.
