bug#384: Compiled emacs fails to run

[Jay Belanger]

I'm running the latest updated Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

[~]> uname -r
2.6.24-18-generic
[~]> gcc --version

A fresh CVS checkout configured and compiled with no problems, but
when I tried to run it, I got the following message:

[emacs]> ./src/emacs -Q
Memory exhausted--use M-x save-some-buffers then exit and restart Emacs
Fatal error (6)Aborted

This started yesterday, as I recall, although I just tried again with
the same result.

However, emacs -Q -nw works just fine.

When an update updated xserver-xorg-core, the problem went away.
So the problem was not with Emacs.
