Yes, I guess that should have been rather obvious. However, given that I do not
work in this area on a more or less regular basis I guess it could have been
reasonably predictable that I would make that mistake.

Anyway, here is the confirmation that it is emacs that is triggering the
problem:

Breakpoint 1, ProcGetInputFocus (client=0x1805900) at events.c:4870
4870    events.c: No such file or directory.
(gdb) p *client->clientIds
$1 = {pid = 15289, cmdname = 0x1805c80 "/usr/bin/emacs", 
  cmdargs = 0x1805ca0 "--smid=2d8141d58-12db-49a6-8893-2addd79140b3 --no-splash
--chdir=/work/rjschwei/devel/smt apache2/conf.d/smt_mod_perl.conf"}
