Running Emacs in a console terminal on FreeBSD, where the default cursor
has been configured in /etc/rc.conf with:

    cursor="destructive"        # Use an underline- instead of block-cursor

turns the cursor to block cursor immediately.  I'll patch my local Emacs
installation and report back later today, Stefan.  Thanks for coming up
with a patch so fast :)
