Yes -- I know -- this could well be a problem with our X Server,
and/or our slow network and not emacs's fault at all, but it only
happens ( I think ) to emacs, so here goes...

A couple of times a day, emacs just stops, sometimes giving this
error, sometimes not:

>> Connection to X server mymachine:0 lost.

When building, I used 

> ./configure hppa1.1-hp-hpux --with-x11
         --x-includes=/usr/include/X11R5  --with-gnu=no
         --x-libraries=/lib/pa1.1 --prefix=/users/gavin/local

(the pa1.1 bit made it find the correct maths lib with a certain maths
fn - I can't remember which)

I SYSTEM_MALLOCed, instead of GNU_MALLOCing (editted hpux9.h) on an
HP700. It crashes when run on a 700 and displayed on an HP300 - People
who use it on a 700 don't recall it ever crashing on them - it only
affects us poor mugs on our lowly 300's (!).

The only similar-ish problem in 'PROBLEMS' is 

     > On HP/UX, you can get that error when the Emacs executable is
     > on an NFS file system.  HP/UX responds this way if it tries to

     > If this happens to you, extend the timeout period.

    is this timeout a kernal variable or is it in the sources somewhere
(there are an awful lot of 10s in the sources, and even 10000s and
10000000s)

As I read what I've just written it does seem to imply that our
network/X/NFS setup is to blame, and if that is the case, then I do
apologise for mailing here - but any help would be greatly
appreciated.
