Okay.

M-x emacs-version RET

GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.10) of
2006-02-22 on drazi, modified by Debian

There was nothing in the Debian bug archives resembling this problem,
and searching the web provided some (very) marginally relevant hits,
though they were some years old.

This problem has been intermittent through the last several versions of
emacs-snapshot from Debian.  It's conceivable that it could be a library
or kernel problem, but I've had no problems otherwise so this seems
unlikely. I'm running the last stable version of the Debian kernel
