   Can someone e-mail me if the problem has already been fixed?  As others
   have said, it opens a blank screen that only displays text either after
   a long wait or by hitting ctrl-C in the parent window.  This doesn't seem
   to crop up on Suns.  Thanks for any responses.


I've noticed this too -- but in emacs 18.52. I noticed that if you set
display to the internet name instead of the local name, it works.
E.g., we have a host kazoo.cs.uiuc.edu. If I start emacs with
`DISPLAY=unix:0', it hangs. If I start it with `DISPLAY=kazoo.cs.uiuc.edu:0',
everything works o.k.

Any clues?
