I have the following problems with emacs 21.2.90:

1. On X when I start emacs it aborts immidiatly:

If I start emacs with an unrecognized argument I can work. Here is the
*Messages* buffer (note the redisplay errors):

  (emacs-21.3 -q --xxxx)
  Loading tool-bar...
  Error during redisplay: (wrong-type-argument integerp nil)
  Loading tool-bar...done
  Loading image...done
  Loading tooltip (compiled; note, source file is newer)...done
  For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type M-x 
describe-project.
  command-line-1: Unknown option `--xxxx'Error during redisplay:

Here I manually loaded default.elc

2. The cursor is a hollow box (like an inactive window) in all
windows. It changes it's color but not its shape.

3. The Hebrew characters are displayed as hollow boxes (it shows
all right with the same font on emacs 21.1).

Ehud.
