[comp.windows.x] emacs & XMenu popups under R4 broken?

Howdy - 

setup: Sun 3/60 CG4, OS 3.5, gcc 1.36, emacs 18.55.3

Having gotten R4 up and running I decided to get back to work
only to find one of those little features one grows accustom
to not working any more. The popup menus in emacs no longer
seem to work. Actually as soon as I try to "popup" a menu emacs locks
up. "ps" shows that emacs is running but it wont respond to any input.
Moving the cursor, copying and pasting still work with the mouse (before
lockup). When I envoke a popup menu I get the message "unknown XMenu error" 
from emacs.

I know that popup menus in emacs are implemented with the 
old XMenu menuing system, which is no longer suported 
(to my knowledge), and that R4 is a bit stricter about some 
things, but.... 

anyone familar with emacs, XMenu & R4 have any ideas for a quick fix?

thanks in advance.
