I am running emacs version 18.55 on an hp9000 800 series with HPUX 7.0.

Occasionally (a couple of times a week) I find that one of the
function keys which I have mapped via the function-keymap stops
working.  In fact, the entry in function-keymap has been clobbered.

This is what the keymap looks like after the glitch:

function-keymap's value is
	(keymap (104 . move-to-window-line) (101 . open-line)
		(2 . end-of-line) (1 . beginning-of-line)
		(102 . re-search-forward) (107 . kill-region)
		(115 . set-mark-command) (63 . help-for-help)
		(67 . recenter) (80 . scroll-down) (78 . scroll-up)
		(68 . delete-char) (45 . compare-windows) (46 . "")
		(48 . overwrite-mode) (53 . "o") (50 . next-line)
		(54 . "") (52 . "") (56 . previous-line) (51 . "")
		(57 . "v") (49 . ">")
		(55 . #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777743) Save your buffers immediately and please report this bug>)
		(100 . next-line) (114 . "") (108 . "")
		(117 . previous-line) (3 . new-shell) (4 . kill-whole-line))

Note that different entries get clobbered each time.

I have not found a way to consistently reproduce this bug, but it happens
several times a week.  If I remap the affected entry, everything works
fine again.

Thanks...
