Aah, the difference is that you're using `-batch` and that does allow me to do 
*some* things in the docker container, but emacs seems to just exit when I 
start a `process`. The docs don't mention this as a caveat 
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/BatchMode

Is there anything that you can think of that might cause a -batch emacs to exit 
early?
