We are running GNU Emacs version 18.53 under SunOS 4.0 on a Sun 3/280
system.  I believe that I have correctly built emacs from the
distribution on prep.  The problem is that emacs hangs indefinitely
when it is run from /bin/sh.  This would not be much of a problem if
not for the fact that things like /etc/vipw invoke emacs in this
manner.

Is this a known problem with 18.53 or am I just getting screwed by
SunOS 4.0?  I have not tried building 18.53 on another system yet, but
I can arrange to do that if need be.  Thanks for your help.
