Try rereading README.packages :-)
This suggestion really helped! Thanks! :)
strace also helped, it was stuck on DNS resolution, repeatedly bombing
DNS servers with a query. When I changed DISPLAY from :0.0 to 127.1:0.0,
XEmacs started just fine.
I can use -debug-init now, and here is the backtrace I get upon startup,
just `./xemacs -debug-init':
Singaling: (wring-type-argument stringp, nil)
substitute-in-file-name(nil)
load(nil t t t)
load-user-init-file()
load-init-file()
command-line()
normal-top-level()
I'll try to look into that, but not immediately. Does it look familiar?

New subject: Network blocks with recent betas
Has someone been messing with the networking code? I tried starting
up XEmacs on my laptop, and it just hung until I started PPP when
Wham! there it was in my face. The "change DISPLAY" trick may also
have worked. I haven't figured out how to investigate this properly
(my net config on that box is an unholy mess, it needs to cope with
three different fixed IP addresses depending on where it gets plugged
in, and with dynamically assigned PPP).
XEmacs CVS updated to 2/26 21:00 JST, updated again 2/28 22:00 JST.
Debian GNU/Linux "woody".
Could these be related?

Hmm. I've also noticed that on my office setup where I'm running XEmacs
21.2.31 on one box and display on another, repaints can take an unholy
long time (compared to my 21.1.9 installation). Our DNS here is
notoriously flaky, so it could be related to Kirill's "bombing DNS"
report except that I don't see how this could be an issue with an open
X11 stream!
But I couldn't find anything in ChangeLog except Martin's Mule-ization
and URA's getaddrinfo work, which also shouldn't affect already open
streams, right?
Or maybe it's Martin's Jan 25 megapatch which seems to do a lot of
Mule-ization?
2000-01-27 URA Hiroshi <ura(a)hiru.aoba.yokohama.jp>
* sysdep.c (init_system_name):
process-unix.c (unix_canonicalized_host_name):
Don't call freeaddrinfo() if getaddrinfo() fails.
* process-unix.c (unix_open_unix_network_stream):
Moved the code to get a port # into address loop.
2000-01-27 Martin Buchholz <martin(a)xemacs.org>
* buffer.c (reinit_vars_of_buffer):
The right place to initialize conversion_in_dynarr and
conversion_out_dynarr.
* alloc.c (pdump): Use the real open() till sys_open() is functional.
* process-unix.c (unix_canonicalize_host_name): Muleize.
(unix_open_network_stream): Muleize.
* buffer.h: Fix up prototypes for ralloc.c functions.
2000-01-27 URA Hiroshi <ura(a)hiru.aoba.yokohama.jp>
* config.h.in: added HAVE_GETADDRINFO and HAVE_GETNAMEINFO
* sysdep.c: In init_system_name(), add code to use getaddrinfo()
instead of gethostbyname()
* process-unix.c: In unix_canonicalize_host_name() and
unix_open_network_stream(), add code to use getaddrinfo()
instead of gethostbyname().

Replace GET_* macros with a more comprehensible and flexible
interface, TO_INTERNAL_FORMAT() and TO_EXTERNAL_FORMAT().
Modify all calls.
Any coding system can be used to do format conversion.
Eliminate enum external_data_format.
Eliminate convert_to_external_format.
Eliminate convert_to_internal_format.
Make sure file-name, keyboard, terminal, and ctext are always
defined as coding systems or aliases. Make
file-name-coding-system, terminal-coding-system, and
keyboard-coding-system magical variables that are equivalent to
defining the corresponding coding system aliases.
