I got emacs 18.53 patch from prep.ai.mit.edu that simplified some of the
expressions that the compiler could not deal with.
My emacs users say it works fine now.

Here is another comment about rup and rusers:
From fink@nucthy.PHYSICS.ORST.EDU Thu Apr 27 20:53:20 1989:
%>4) Rup, rusers, and rwall do not work correctly.

%Yea, tease things never seem to work right. It seems that there is a 4.2,
%4.3 difference.

I guess it is possible that there are several versions of rup, rusers
and rwall floating around.

ftp, rlogin, and NFS seem to work just fine.  I will double check the ifconfigs
just to make shure.
