"This" being what?

I assumed that "refuses to do anything useful" means you cannot visit
a file, edit it, and save it. That works for me, both in 24.3 and the
current trunk. FWIW, I did
HOME=/whatever emacs -Q
and in that session I could visit files, edit them, and save them.
Sure, Emacs bitched at me at startup, but that's it.
