In GNU Emacs 18.57.4 of Thu Oct 3 1991 on cruncher (silicon-graphics-unix)
Several times in the last week (just since this new version of
emacs was installed on cruncher), I've had this problem: I do
some normal command, and emacs suddenly starts printing out random
garbage, beeping, and flashing, and I can't get it to stop. The
effect is similar to what you might get if you said "cat a.out."
The innocuous commands that have provoked this phenomenon include
"M-x compile" and, most recently, "C-x k". I am quite positive
that I didn't accidentally type "cat a.out" or "M-x freak-out".
When this problem occurs, I can't regain control of emacs; I have
to go into another window and kill it.
