Hello.
Since a bit, emacs won't start under X: no error, no message, nothing.
It just starts and exits after a while without doing anything.
I can run "emacs -nw" fine.
How can I diagnose this? Is there any log I can look into? Any utility?

av.
use strace.
Thanks.

Of course, emacs is a shell script.
So I run "strace emacs-x11": is this ok?
Running emacs-x11 by itself I get one of two behaviours:
a) either it hogs the CPU for some seconds, then quits with no effect at
all;
b) or it hogs the CPU for a while, then I'll get "Memory exhausted--use
M-x save-some-buffers then exit and restart Emacs".
I still can't grasp what makes the difference.
Running it through strace, however, it never exits (still doing nothing
appreciable); it is also quite hard to kill.
In the end I got a trace file (which is over 7MB!), but it's nothing I
can interpret.
What should I do?
Anything I should look for?
Any way to make some sense out of this?
Should I upload it somewhere for someone who might be interested in
seeing it?
bye & Thanks
av.
