That'll be it.  I've run emacs-22.1 on both SPARC and x86 hardware,
but never on a uniprocessor machine.  We don't have any of those left.
However, I just took one CPU offline on my Ultra 60 and tried
emacs-22.1.  When I click on the `Read and existing file' icon, the
`Find File' dialogue window appears just like it should.

When I click on that icon with both CPUs online, I get a very long
pause, after which the emacs window disappears, leaving a 94-meg core
file.

I'll see what I can do.
