It only happens in terminal mode, which includes starting emacs
without a DISPLAY environment set.  I use a .Xdefaults to set the
colors for X.

I have *lots* of stuff in my .emacs file, but it replicates for me
when my .emacs file only contains the above line.

I tried it in two different builds I got from CVS, on RedHat 6.0, and

out of the build area without "make install".
