This is the GNU Emacs from Apple that comes with Mac OS X, the one without any 
windowing support. It's also possible that the terminal emulation you are using 
as host for GNU Emacs is doing some nonsense, sending the wrong characters. C-h 
l, in case you succeed in inputting these two, will show you what GNU Emacs has 
received until then.

With Snow Leopard you can try to restore /usr/bin/emacs-undumped and 
/usr/bin/emacs from a Time Machine backup.

You can also try to launch GNU Emacs with the options -q or -Q. Then GNU Emacs 
will not load init files, which might contain Elisp code to "rebind the keys".
