 I thought my root/.emacs was empty...but it wasn't.  It crashes with
the following statement:

(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "#ffffff" :foreground
"#000000" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline
nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight semi-bold :height 120 :width
normal :family "adobe-courier")))))
