Running on a Cheetah 80486 with SCO Unix ODT (System V/386)

When I try to run emacs under X windows (with ODT window manager), I
get one of the following two behaviours:

1.  It doesn't run at all the first time

2.  I stop the process and try again at which point it runs just fine

3.  I exit emacs with C-x C-c and try to start it again and get the
following messages (with a hung emacs)
Warning: Client built for newer server!
Warning: Protocol rev. of client does not match server!

Sometimes I only see steps two and three.

If I reboot the system, the process starts over again.

Other behavior which I noticed which might give you a clue:

Any newly rebuilt version of emacs works the first (or second) time
without rebooting the system.

temacs always works

Alternatively running one version of emacs, exiting it with C-x C-c,
then running another version of emacs also works repeatedly.

The non-X windows version of emacs works either by typing emacs -nw
from an xterm or by typing emacs from a non-xterm.

I built the system with the following config.h file using the command
make CC=gcc all
make install.sysv

***config.h*****

The defined symbol SCO was to permit me to make changes in source
files conditionally.  The problem reported above occurs with
unmodified sources as distributed.

If you fix this bug, will you send me e-mail, or do I just wait for a
future release?

On a positive note:  The non-x system works great (as does the X
system when it is working).  Thanks for the nice job on a good editor!
