No, I did not, because its not necessary. GNU Emacs 21.3.50 works fine, 
so why is GNU Emacs 22.0.50 failing? That's the question ...

I don't know. It is in the code. Here's the beginning of *Messages* 
when I launch 21.3.50 from Fink (with some enhancements from me to load 
more up-to-date packages from /Library/Application Support/Emacs):

        (/sw/bin/emacs)
        Loading encoded-kb...done
        Loading 00fink-vars...done
        Loading 50python-mode (source)...done
        Sind jetzt in PETEs .emacs                      loading ~/.emacs
        Sind im Terminal
        Loading ~/.emacs_nil...                         loading no-window code 
(almost none yet)
        Sind im Terminal
        Loading ~/.emacs_nil...done

And here's GNU Emacs 22.0.50:

        (/usr/local/bin/emacs)
        Loading disp-table...done
        Loading encoded-kb...done
        Sind jetzt in PETEs .emacs                      loading ~/.emacs
        Sind im Terminal
        Loading ~/.emacs_nil...                         loading no-window code 
(almost none yet)
        Sind im Terminal
        Loading ~/.emacs_nil...done
