In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Tue Jul 26 1994 on chugalug (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

The following script causes all kinds of interesting things to happen.
usually ending in the eventual core dump of cm.

#!/bin/sh
emacs -q &
cm &

I originally noticed this problem when I tried to start both emacs and
cm in my .xinitrc file.  

Typically when I ran my .xinitrc file I would get a number of the
following errors on my console:

"No Selection"

Sometimes cm would core immediately.  And sometimes the next several
emacs commands I would run would cause cm to popup random error
messages until cm is either killed or dumps.  

I have gotten around the problem by just not starting cm at the same
time I start emacs.  If I start cm by hand after emacs has started I
have never had any problems.

hope this information is helpful,
-Andrew
