w3m & emacs21 problem

My w3m does not work properly from within emacs. "M-x w3m" creates an error
which ultimately requires me to "kill" the emacs21 process
externally. "M-x browse-url-at-point" also fails, unless I have already
created the initial "M-x w3m" error. The reverse won't work. 

Below are all details. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Tomasz
