Package: emacs23
Version: 23.1+1-4
Severity: normal

I can start emacs from within xterm but not from gmrun. I have tried to 
examine the environment in both cases. There are three variables that 
change: PWD, SHLVL and _. There are some more that are not present in 
gmrun and its children.

GPG_TTY HISTCONTROL INFOPATH LESSCLOSE LESSOPEN LS_COLORS OLDPWD PWD
SHLVL TERM WINDOWID XTERM_LOCALE XTERM_SHELL XTERM_VERSION

I have simulated the environment in xterm with "env -u".

env -u LESSOPEN -u LS_COLORS  -u TERM -u WINDOWID -u XTERM_LOCALE -u 
XTERM_SHELL -u XTERM_VERSION emacs

still crashes with 

Wrong type argument: keymapp, ("DEAD" . 2109956)

but giving emacs at least one of those variables (removing them from th 
"-u" list) makes it start. What is significat, however, is the number of
variables removed from the environment or their size. You could as well
choose different set of variable to give emacs and it'll start. Weird.
