Hopefully someone has seen this problem and knows how to fix it:

Problem: Emacs "runs away" when its window is deleted.

System: HP 9000/750 running HPUX-8.05,  Emacs version 18.57

We are having problems with emacs on our HP9000/750.  Whenever a user
logs out of his/her workstation session, the emacs process starts to 
eat all of the available CPU time.  This also happens whenever the
user kills the emacs X window instead of exiting via C-x C-c.

We have tried to educate users, but we are still having about 2-3 
runaways a day.  Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
