Summary:                    Emacs start hangs and dies after upgrade since last
month
Description: 
CSW Emacs was working fine on my Solaris 10/x86 workstation last month. I
recently did a pkg-get upgrade, required to get new openssl lib for another
program, and now emacs doesn\'t work anymore.
When I launch it, it hangs for ~30s and then dies with this error
message:
Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size
Truss doesn\'t reveal anything obvious. 
I\'m not sure how to find more information about the problem, but would be
happy to debug it on anyone\'s instructions.

Sorry I didn't realize there was a difference between blastwave and opencsw
servers... I pointed to http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/csw/current and it
upgraded all my packages.
Nothing was working for a while as fontconfig blew up and corrupted my
fonts

Installing fontconfig - A library for configuring and customizing font
access. as <CSWfconfig>
## Executing postinstall script.
fc-cache is running now to build font information caches
this may take up to several minutes on slow workstations

After some time to clean up I seem to be back in business and emacs works
now thanks.
