This is with Emacs 18.58.

    Hardware:	no-name 80486/33 ISA clone
    Software:	ESIX 4.0.3a  (System V/386 Release 4 Version 3)
		X11R4 as distributed with ESIX 4.0.3a
		Using TWM as distributed with ESIX 4.0.3a

I am running X from the system console; TCP/IP is not running, as
there is no Ethernet hardware in the system.

Problem:

When using emacs at the console (or any multiscreen; all TERM types
are AT386-UL) everything is fine.

When I attempt to start emacs from within an xterm, the
"emacs: Emacs @ devon" window grid-lines appear.  Then, immediately
after I click to place the window, I get the following error:

XIO:  fatal IO error 14 (Bad address) on X server "devon:0.0"
      after 53 requests (18 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

No core file is produced.  Can anyone provide some insight?
