Hello.

I trussed emacs... that was easy...
Much harder is to extract something useful from the 1.1MB output: I give 
up on this, it's too hard without a pointer.
If anyone is interested, I can upload the file somewhere.

Anyway, I fixed this by choosing XAW over GTK in the port configuration.

  bye & Thanks
