	machine is an Athlon64-X2.

>Description:
        Having installed Emacs.app (because that promises
        anti-aliased fonts, and it works nicely on my Mac) from
        ports, with a quick
	cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs.app; sudo make install clean
        I couldn't figure out how to start it, or find
        documentation on how to start it.  The closest that I
        got (at least it didn't complain about being unable to
        find shared libraries) was the command:

	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Applications/Emacs.app/Emacs

	which produced the following messages:

	2006-12-05 17:38:20.951 Emacs[72983] Warning - mouse/pointer seems to have more than 5 buttons - just using one to five
	Fatal error (11)

        If I run that with --help, I get a help message and
        a core dump.  The back-trace doesn't seem terribly
        helpful, but the top of it says:

	#0  0x000000000058ba9a in Fcons (car=0, cdr=0) at alloc.c:2764
	2764    alloc.c: No such file or directory.
	        in alloc.c

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build and run as above.

>Fix:

        Not sure how to fix.  Happy to help debug.  My
        work-around is going to be changing back to regular GNU
        emacs...
