It's EMACS!

see the help for the variable cursor-type, which is set in the
default-frame-alist and initial-frame-alist. If you want a vertical
bar, set this to bar

------------------------------
cursor-type's value is t

Documentation:
Cursor to use in window displaying this buffer.
Values are interpreted as follows:

  t 		use the cursor specified for the frame
  nil		don't display a cursor
  `bar'		display a bar cursor with default width
  (bar . WIDTH)	display a bar cursor with width WIDTH
  others	display a box cursor.

I have a bar-cursor-mode that changes the cursor to a vertical bar
normally, and then back to a block in overwrite mode.

Hope that helps.
