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.
