Pida fails to launch

[lbthrice]

Binary package hint: pida

I installed pida 0.5.1-5 from Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) repository using synaptic.
pida:
  Installed: 0.5.1-5
  Candidate: 0.5.1-5
  Version table:
 *** 0.5.1-5 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

it fails to launch, other users have reported this behavior as well (please see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033981)

Upon invocation from the application menu, pida presents dialog window where the user chooses vim or emacs as the embedded editor.
I chose emacs.
Pida greeting stating that pida is launching and that it loves me appeared
an xemacs window appeared.
The pida greeting hangs and a force quit was required to make it go away.

After closing xemacs I then invoked pida from terminal so that I could catch the output.

here it is:

Marking as Invalid for emacs22 as per comment #1 -- if I misunderstood then obviously feel free to change back.
