>Description:
	Under -current, if you build emacs or emacs21 (but not xemacs),
it dumps core unless you invoke it such that it runs without X (i.e. the
-nw flag.)
	There is speculation this is caused by an undump issue that was
tickled by the recent change in binutils. It is known that X 4.2 vs X 4.3
makes no difference, so it is not an X issue. Emacsen built a while
ago still work -- it is only new ones that die this way.
>How-To-Repeat:
	build emacs21 from pkgsrc under very current -current. Note that
it dumps core as soon as you start it.
