In GNU Emacs 19.25.5 of Mon Jun  6 1994 on r9 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1)

When I try and start emacs with "emacs -f rmail &" when I already have a
number of X applications using colour active, sometimes emacs says

	Undefined color: "green"

and the job aborts.

The "bug" is that the job aborts. Isn't that a bit drastic?

Thanks
Toby
