Several released 'emacs -Q's hang.

Hello, Emacs.

I run on an up to date Gentoo GNU/Linux system.  For some time, maybe
two to four weeks, some older Emacsen have been hanging.

Start them with emacs -Q, and they display the opening screen, but
remain unresponsive using 100% CPU.

emacs-23.3 -Q, emacs-23.2 -Q hang.  emacs-23.1 -Q runs OK, as does
emacs-24 (thankfully).  Rebuilding 23.3 didn't help.

Does anybody have any idea what is going on, here?
