This could stop GNU Emacs from contacting the X server to ask for a  
list of available fonts (which could also be supplied by  
libfontconfig, i.e., from the client side). Or, as you already  
supposed, stop from asking for the screen's geometry. And when no  
dimensions are received, defaults (like largest unsigned 16-bit  
integer) are used... (could such a screen fit into my apartment?!  
Electronic paper, rolled in when I got to bed?)

Maybe there is some versions mismatch in the software you try to use.
