I have just installed EMACS 18.57 on a Sparc running SunOS Release 4.1.
Things appear to work fine over several invocations.  In particular, I
was able to invoke inferior shells and LISP processes (KCL 1.530).

After several runs, M-X shell reported, "Process shell exited abnormally
with code 1".  Consulting the PROBLEMS file, I found the following:

I am not running 4.0.x, but am getting the same problem.  Do you have a more
detailed explanation of what may be causing this?  I don't really want to
have to reboot the machine every few times I run emacs . . .

Thanks,
