This is a minor problem but can be quite annoying so if somebody knows
the fix please let me know.  This problem concerns GNU emacs 18.55
running under Sun OS 4.1 with X Windows Option.  The problem is the following.  Often emacs spawns a processes loadst which reports status information to current
window.  On occassion if the emacs window is killed and loadst is left
around.  When someone reopens that pseudo terminal which is somehow allowed
by the operating system, emacs loadst can still post to the window leaving
junk on the screen.  I could write a shell script which ran every 5 or ten
minutes which cleaned up these defunct loadst.  I was wondering if there
was a simple fix to source which would finesse problem.  I'm sure this
has been discussed before.  My feeling is that this message was 1/2 way
between a request for help and a "bug" report so I didn't post to gnu.emacs.help
