Gnu Emacs 24 Startup Problem (Cygwin)

[joseph.koziatek@dowjones.com]

Hello All,

My Gnu Emacs 24.3.1 (Cygwin) suddenly stopped working.  It starts up taking over 500 MB on Windows 7 Enterprise Task Manager and never maps it's window. It then core dumps leaving a emacs-X11.exe.stackdump file (shown at end).

All other cygwin x apps work (xeyes, xterm, xcalc)..   I start it with no .emacs file in my home directory "emacs &"   

How can I see what it's doing?  Are there any startup switches that can help me find out what it's doing?  Also, if I cant solve this problem is there a way to re-install just emacs-X11.exe and it's required libraries?

I also executed a date listing of the ldd command on /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe and all libraries show an old date (no recent changes). No libraries have changed and neither has the /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe executable..  

What could be goin on?

Thanks In Advanced

Joe
