I can't reproduce the problem.  The fact that it occurs with -q but not 
-Q suggests that the problem has something to do with your site 
initialization.  (-Q forces --no-site-file and --no-site-lisp.)  I 
suggest that you look in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp to see if something 
there could be causing the problem.
