VERSION: 	18.58.1.1
MACHINE:	HP-UX wstar A.08.07 A 9000/710 2000283986.

PROBLEM:

Emacs crashes (core dumps) after making the following call to abort() from
within the function get_display_line() as located in the file dispnew.c; all
I can offer at the moment is the following traceback ($c) from an invocation
of adb /usr/local/bin/emacs core:

	_raise() from _abort+60
	_abort() from get_display_line+44
	get_display_line() from display_echo_area_contents+6C
	display_echo_area_contents() from message1+0xC8
	message1() from Fgarbage_collect+44
	Fgarbage_collect() from Ffuncall+0xA0
	Ffuncall() from call0+24
	call0() from updatesfk+2F0
	updatesfk() from update_softkeys_if_necessary+2C
	update_softkeys_if_necessary() from redisplay_all_windows+30
	redisplay_all_windows() from redisplay+44C
	redisplay() from read_command_char+10C
	read_command_char() from read_key_sequence+0xB0
	read_key_sequence() from command_loop_1+218
	command_loop_1() from internal_condition_case+120
	internal_condition_case() from command_loop_2+54
	command_loop_2() from internal_catch+0xC0
	internal_catch() from command_loop+0xC4
	command_loop() from recursive_edit_1+68
	recursive_edit_1() from Frecursive_edit+0xA8
	Frecursive_edit() from main+560
	main() from _start+68
	_start() from $START$+70

Thus far the exact pattern of key-strokes that trigger this core dump
are unknown to me.  Please let me know what else I can do to narrow down
the cause and/or solve the problem.  -jpf.
