I'm using emacs 18.58 on sunos 4.1.3, running X11R4.  I had emacs up for a
few days, using tags, gdb, and lots of other things.  Then the status line
displayed the message "Back to top level".  Almost every key I hit gave this
message.  All I could do was kill the window and start emacs up again.  I
never saw this error in two years of using emacs 18.58, and now I've seen it
twice in a month.  Any ideas of what could cause this?  Is this a hint that I
should move to version 19?

Paul
