Emacs Version: 19.25.1 (with alpha patch (same symptom without it))
(last version attempted (and successfully compiled) was 19.22)

HW:          Sun Sparcserver 10
OS:          SunOS 4.1.3
Compiler:    gcc 2.5.8

Starting under X-windows only.  Run with -nw option, no hassles.
It runs fine, but when I quit (save-buffers-kill-emacs) it doesn't
return me to the prompt (assuming i was running it in the foreground).
Instead it seems to be looping somewhere.
It uses as much processor time as it can grab...
The window disappears, as does the entry in the icon manager...
What type of display it is running on seems to have nothing to do
with it.  I have tried on NCD X-Terminals and on a SCO ODT display.
Sending an "intr" character doesn't do anything (via keyboard)
Sending a "kill" character will give the message "Fatal error (3)."
and *sometimes* (apparently only if does early enough after quitting?
you do have quite a lot of time, though.  20 minutes?)
return you to the prompt ("Memory fault - core dumped").
Sometimes, however (if you take too long) it will just give the
"Fatal error (3)." message, after which a subsequent "kill" character
does nothing.  But now a `kill <processid>` will in fact stop it with
the message "Terminated".  This will not work before the "kill".

I haven't managed to compile it under SCO yet, due to it failing to
recognize SIGKILL...  Sadly I don't have the time to find out what is
wrong in that particular case, either.
So I can't report whether the same thing happens there.

hope the patch comes out soon!  (assuming it's not something *I*'m doing)

many thanks in advance!				philipp
