   There is an EXTEMELY annoying glitch with our emacs setup and it is driving me  
   batty!

I've seen this happen on one of our NeXTstation(but not our 040
Cubes), and I've mentioned a few times but no one has ever figured
this out.  HAS ANYONE ELSE WITNESSED THIS PROBLEM?  It makes Emacs
unusable on some NeXTs.
  
   I have a NeXT with version 2.1 of the system.  We have emacs 18.55 running.  
   (Please don't tell me to upgrade to version 18.57 unless you can also supply a  
   pointer to diffs or at least s- and m- files for the NeXT.)  There are several  
   machines in our network and we are using yellow pages.  The problems is that  
   whenever I try to find a file (either through "C-x C-f", "emacs file" or  
   through a client talking to the server) emacs freezes completely for between 15  
   and 30 seconds.  The file then loads and everything works fine.  In about 1 in  
   10 times the file loads immediately with no delay at all.

Have you tried upgrading to 18.57? :-) I have some diffs that I
finally got around to applying yesterday that seem to work.  I'll
upload the entire emacs 18.57(diffs applied) plus the diffs in case I
screwed up something.
