On my SGI Indy running unix, when my current directory is an nsf served disk,
emacs 19.21 fails to start and gives the following error:

macon 40# emacs
emacs: `getwd' failed: getwd: can't stat ..

Is this problem fixed in a later version?  If so, is there somewhere that I
can FTP the newer binary?  Thanks.
