What is the output of otool -Llhv on your binary?

I would not have expected this output from "open foo.app", since open
just messages someone else (the Window Server) to launch the
application.

Did you compile this with CodeWarrior? I think it places the Mach-O
headers in a different order than the vendor ld, but this should be
mostly harmless...

Can you run the application under gdb and see what happens? just
gdb Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
run
<wait for it to die>
backtrace
