I have been evaluating TCP/IP 2.0 for OS/2. If a client emacs session is
started on a Sun Machine running SunOS 1.4.3, and the ctrl-g (QUIT) key is
entered the application aborts with the following error:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
  operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  104 (X_Bell)
  Value in failed request:  0xce
  Serial number of failed request:  1934
  Current serial number in output stream:  1934

This doesn't happen with the OS/2 PMX server that came with the latest CSD for
TCP/IP 1.2.1 or with any other X server that we have.

Is there a CSD for TCP/IP 2.0 or some other work-around? Would upgrading the
version of GNU emacs solve the problem?

Relevant facts:
  Micron 486/66 with 16MBytes, Diamond Stealth PRO VLB with 2MBytes, 3COM 509,
  OS/2 2.1, TCP/IP 2.0.
  GNU/emacs-18.57 compiled under SunOS 1.4.2 running under SunOS 1.4.3 on an
  ELC.

Thanks for any help.
