I'm running the latest updated Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

A fresh CVS checkout configured and compiled with no problems, but
when I tried to run it, I got the following message:

[emacs]> ./src/emacs -Q
Memory exhausted--use M-x save-some-buffers then exit and restart Emacs
Fatal error (6)Aborted

This started yesterday, as I recall, although I just tried again with
the same result.
