Hi, I'm a CS junior at UCLA and we have a problem with emacs working
on AIX v1.2 running on a PS/2 using an 80386 and 80387 math
coprocessor, 12 Mb of internal memory, Ethernet boards, and TCF
(Transparent Computer Facility).  The major problem is with file and
command completion in the command line on the bottom of the screen.
When emacs attempts to do the completion, it exits to the shell and
prints the following error message:

Abort or IOT trap

Then the shell prompt appears.  After typing in a single character,
the shell goes into an infinite loop of printing out its prompt. 

You probably have recieved this bug report several times.  However,
I'm reporting this bug to you in case you haven't heard of this one
and in hopes that you may tell me if there is a solution to fixing
this problem.  I'm also reporting this to you since the administrators
of our computing facility will not spend more time trying to fix the
problem.  (They do not know how to operate emacs.)

If you currently don't know of any solutions, please tell me what is
currently being done about this problem.  If you need more information
on the configuration of our computers please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you for your time.
