I use Darwin Ports, no Fink.  gcc comes from the Apple dev tools.

I am still experiencing the problem, and I'm pretty sure it hasn't
changed since August when I first noticed it.  Please try making a clean
build with any version between August and now, on OS X 10.4 or 10.5, and
you'll see the input problem.  If you really are not having the input
problem with the build you mention above, maybe it doesn't occur on PPC
platforms (i386 here).  I'm very curious about your build, because no
one else has reported success on MacOS as you have.

The last good build for me was 
GNU Emacs 22.1.50.2 (i386-apple-darwin8.10.1, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 
2007-08-01 on tzz.local

and the last build I tried, which has the input problem:
GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.0.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 
2007-08-01 on tzz.local

It's definitely not OS X 10.4 vs 10.5.  I have observed the input
problem on both (10.4.10 and 10.5).
