There was a fix that went into -current a month or two ago which may
what you are missing.  Something to do with the way emacs was
manipulating the environment which caused memory corruption.  I imagine
the fix would have been pulled up to the 6.1 branch but you would
probably have to wait for 6.1.3 before it was available.  As a work
around you should be able to run emacs-23 instead, that does not seem to
exhibit the same behaviour.
