problem seems unlikely to be in Emacs itself.  Some suspect that it
is actually Xlib which won't work with libc.so.5.2.16.

Using the old library version is a workaround.

** Mac OS X

*** Mac OS X (Carbon): Environment Variables from dotfiles are ignored.

When starting Emacs from the Dock or the Finder on Mac OS X, the
environment variables that are set up in dotfiles, such as .cshrc or
.profile, are ignored.  This is because the Finder and Dock are not
started from a shell, but instead from the Window Manager itself.

The workaround for this is to create a .MacOSX/environment.plist file to
setup these environment variables.  These environment variables will
apply to all processes regardless of where they are started.
For me information, see http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html.

*** Mac OS X (Carbon): Process output truncated when using ptys.

There appears to be a problem with the implementation of pty's on the
Mac OS X that causes process output to be truncated.  To avoid this,
leave process-connection-type set to its default value of nil.

*** Mac OS X 10.3.9 (Carbon): QuickTime updater breaks build.

Some QuickTime updaters such as 7.0.4 and 7.2.0 are known to break
build at the link stage with the message like "Undefined symbols:
_HICopyAccessibilityActionDescription referenced from QuickTime
expected to be defined in Carbon".  A workaround is to use a QuickTime
reinstaller.  Alternatively, you can link with the frameworks in the
corresponding SDK by specifying LDFLAGS as
"-Wl,-F/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.3.0.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks".

** FreeBSD

*** FreeBSD 2.1.5: useless symbolic links remain in /tmp or other
directories that have the +t bit.
