As another poster has noted, the suid bit was set by the broken
"Repair Disk Permissions" function of the Disk Utility in some builds
of OSX 10.4. It's definitely a security risk that has supposedly been
fixed in some more recent update. (I haven't tested it myself yet).
The Emacs is small because it's just a compiled launcher for the real
Emacs that provides a terminal window for Emacs to run in if the
launcher was invoked without a terminal. The 21.2 version built into
OSX 10.4 isn't compiled with window system support.
