emacs23 gtk crashes with Arithmetic error after recent ubuntu updates, terminal mode fine

[Jeff Barczewski]

Binary package hint: emacs23

Emacs was working fine until recent ubuntu 10.04 updates, I believe there were libc updates this week?

Binary package hint: emacs23

In graphic mode, emacs fails to start
$ emacs -q -Q
Arithmetic error
$

In terminal mode (option -nw), however, it works fine.

This is similar to Bug# 684613 but was reported for maverick.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Jeff
