There's something weird going on with fonts.  I'm not very good at 
interpreting strace output, but it looks like emacs is trying to read 
all the fonts on your system and running out of memory.  I suggest that 
you delete the directories ~/.fontconfig and ~/.cache/fontconfig.  Then 
run (as administrator) "fc-cache -fsv".  See if that helps.
