System: SGI Iris 3130 running Version 3.6 gnu emacs: 18.57 Problem 1: when starting emacs from within less (v177) with the "v" command, one gets Fatal error (11)./usr/local/bin/emacs: Segmentation violation -- Core dumped as a response. Then one is back talking to less. Problem 2: when starting emacs from within Mail (version 5.2 6/21/85) one gets Fatal error (11).Fatal error in "/usr/local/bin/emacs" as a response, and then the "(continue)" prompt from Mail. Although the error message doesn't mention it in this case, a core file is created. Incidentally, problem (2) did NOT occur with emacs 18.55. If you (a) are interested in taking a look at this, and (b) don't have handy access to a 3130, I'd be happy to try out any tests that you care to suggest. Jim Diamond zsd@pig.drea.dnd.ca
