After spending a considerable amount of time trying to get GNU Emacs 18.49
running on my 5700 I decided to try compiling it on a 5500 (really 565).
No problem.  In fact I can run on the 5700 provided I compile on
the 5500.

I have noticed this same type of problem with several other large programs.
I believe the problem is due to the compiler used on the 5600/5700
system; it turns out some really different code sometimes.  Aside from
being a royal pain for maintenance, I would like to take advantage
of the 020/lightning hardware.  I keep hoping Masscomp will fix
the problem.  I don't think it's reasonable to have such problems
porting software between two machines in the same family with the same
OS, etc.
