Well, I don't know what the problem is, either.  But you might want to
run "emacs -q -no-site-file" as a first sanity check.  If this works
(unlikely) then the problem is your site customization (site-start.el,
~/.emacs, default.el).  If it doesn't work, try running "strace emacs
-q -no-site-file" and see if you can glean any info from that.
