Apparently somebody has found the reason why there is this `poll:
interrupted...' message for each event. For some reason, libcurses
reimplements a `select()' system call, in a highly broken fashion.

- If XEmacs starts when you're on the network, but fails when you're

-`/etc/hosts' file. The file should contain an entry like:
-
- 127.0.0.1 localhost

- Add that line, and XEmacs will be happy.
