This isn't a big problem, more for just your information. It was noticed
by one of our consultants. We've told users not to resize their windows to
1 line.

If you invoke emacs in an xterm (no-window emacs, not x11emacs) and
you resize the window to one row, you get a cute error.
Fatal error (6).IOT trap (core dumped)
Then emacs dies and you are back at the system prompt. This also happens
with sunview emacstool. Running an X11 Emacs window limits you to 5 lines
minimum, so the problem isn't seen.

We are running SunOS 4.0.3 - 4.1.3 on Sun3's and Sun4's.
We have Gnu emacs 18.54.27 and 18.58.13
We see it fail with X11R5/Openwindows and xterm resized to 1 line, and
Sunview and shelltool resized to 1 line.
It seems to show the same error in all cases tried.
