Eli and Alan,
Many thanks for this. I suspect that there is something about my set-up
here which is causing the problem. I'm going to send this along to
debian-emacsen too, for one more try.
Just to summarize the problem -
I'm running Debian 2.2r3, with a few packages updates from unstable
simply to compile emacs21. (dpkg, info, texinfo, sysvinit)
My window manager is Blackbox 0.61
Emacs21 is fine in the console. If I start it from an xterm or an aterm
it is stable, everything works nicely.
If I start it from the Debian Blackbox menu or from Bbrun or gnome-run or
grun, it vanishes at the first use of C-x 1, trying to kill a second
buffer.
I don't have either an .xsession-errors or .gnome-errors or anything like
that.
EMacs 20.7 worked fine, Xemacs 21.4.5 is working well as I write!
Here's the result of C-h v process-environment
process-environment's value is ("_=/usr/bin/emacs21"
"XAPPLRESDIR=/etc/X11/Xresources"
