Charles,
as the title of this mail says, it is Emacs (21.2-13, 21.3.50-2, started
from X), NOT XEmacs (21.4.17-1, 21.5.16-1), that has problems after
rebasing all the system.
The problem.
------------
There are applications that need rebasing (... unable to remap...). But
after rebasing all, Emacs does not show its window and take almost 100% of
CPU (one can only kill it). If one reinstall libncurses7-5.3-4, Emacs
works again as it should.
For what I know, Emacs is the only X application that has this problem.
Cheers,
angelo.
