R: Emacs silence

[Nigel Hardy]

Thank you Eliot for the mail attachment suggestion. I attach the output 
here.
Thank you Ken for the "cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe" suggestion - the 
output seems good to me and is attached. Starting from mintty did not work.

    bash-3.2$ echo $DISPLAY
    127.0.0.1:0.0
    bash-3.2$ emacs
    bash-3.2$ emacs-X11.exe
    bash-3.2$ cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out
    bash-3.2$ cygcheck /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe > cygcheck_emacs.out

I have also tried running the Xming server in place of Cygwin/X. This 
displays "xterm" ok. but emacs-X11.exe fails silently in the same way.
