I did try -vanilla and -norc, but not the others.  I'll see what they do
for me.

I dont know, would it?  Can anybody see why xemacs would run just fine
when I am in the process of compiling something else, but when I am not
compiling anything it segfaults immediately.

I did try to run strace on xemacs, and although I dont have the results at
hand to cut and paste, the segfault was happening after a bunch of stat
calls that were looking for default.{elc,el,} but when I am compiling
something nothing happens here other than ENOENT.
