Emacs booted up after I downgraded xlib6-3.3-5 (in hamm) to xlib6-3.3-3 (in bo).
I didn't have to touch xlib6g. I am unfamiliar with the use of strace, but when I tried it, the core dump occured as a SIGSEGV, right after getting the PID. Apparently emacs_19 has to be recompiled for the new libs. Alan Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
