This is the only thing I can think of that seems related, but it should not have anything to do with gnuserv. It's something that needs to be done by the main application (ie, the xemacs binary) to conform to the IPv6 standard, but causes lots of problems in practice. That has been solved for 5 years, though. There are two possible changes that might with your problem. First, it sounds to me like it's likely to be some kind of security configuration problem. Please check the gnuserv man page to see if you can configure the GNU-SECURE protocol for your local host. That might help, without having to rebuild gnuserv.
