[arch-general] Emacs is Broken!

I don't know what happened lately, but I notice that emacs totally locks up on me now. It was working find yesterday before I did a major pacman -Syu this morning. Even if I move my .emacs out of the way and start up emacs, I get the welcome screen but then no cursor key movement. The only way I can get emacs to close is to kill it from another console. Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing trouble with emacs 23.4?
