Me too.

When vfork finally got 'fixed' this morning somehow, I notice that when I run 'emacs -Q &' from an xterm window it now takes 4 minutes for emacs to come up.  FWIW It is much faster if I have emacs start my normal way from .startxwinrc.

I also find that when I create a new frame and place it on the right border of my monitor, sometimes the width gets 'fixed'.  This last time I ran 'emacs -Q &' created a new frame and selected a dired buffer.  Put it next to the right side of my monitor and it cannot be shrunk in width less than  73 columns.  I also see this error:
(emacs:3112): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_distribute_natural_allocation: assertion 'extra_space >= 0' failed
