I start up Emacs on login with the following line:

        emacs -w =80x58-5+5 &

As it's starting, I get a vertical dotted line about 9 spaces from the
left side of the emacs window:

         |
         |
         |
         |
etc.  So the bar at the bottom says "-----Emac|"

Then Emacs loads time ("Loading time..." in minibuffer as normal) and
the scratch buffer comes up ok and the dotted line goes away.  This
only happens on login, if I type the same line at the prompt, it's
normal, or if I call Emacs with my uwm menu, it's fine.  

Any ideas?  It's not problematic, just weird.
(I hate describing such a bug; let me know if I'm not clear.)

Thanks,
Sharon
