If GNU-Emacs is similar to XEmacs, and in this way I believe it is, an X
aware version segregates library calls in such a way that when started
without X it uses a different set of libraries (one of which is [n]curses)
and ignores other X features such as input methods dependent on X.

/usr/bin/emacs -d $DISPLAY
may bomb in a similar way; it does on my machine
