We've been running emacs 18.57 with X-windows code on AIX
3.1 and we're upgrading to AIX 3.2 and we're noticing
strange problems under 3.2.

When I start emacs on a character cell terminal the first
character I type causes the message

    Fatal error (23).

to appear in the minibuffer, along with the character typed.
Further typing reveals that the terminal characteristics
haven't been set.  Characters are being echoed, input is
buffered up to newlines and ^C is an interrupt.

This doesn't happen 100% of the time but it happens a lot on
AIX 3.2 and we never noticed it on AIX 3.1.

I ftp'd emacs 18.58 from prep and recompiled using the
s-aix3.2.h file which just includes the 3.1 file.  This
didn't seem to affect the problem.

Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?

Running emacs in X-windows mode works just fine, of course....

Thanks for any suggestions or information.
