I've been getting this also (no relationship to terminal type tho) on
Sun/OS 4.0.3, Sun4/280, Emacs 18.55. Also core dumps without any Fatal
Error #6 message tho they might happen too quickly.

It almost always happens when I RMAIL and then start GNUS, GNUS begins
chugging away (the herald shows) and then wham, gone.

Another person here complained of the same exact symptoms
(RMAIL->GNUS->core).

Sometimes it won't happen for days, sometimes a few times in one day.
I use xterm at work tho it happens when I'm home using an Z19 also.

The other person uses a PC from home so I assume VT100, I doubt the
terminal type is relevent.

A quick look at the stack trace in ADB seems to indicate that it's
garbage collecting.

I can send more details if someone just tells me what is useful
(perhaps an ADB stack snapshot? GDB usually refuses to do anything
with the resultant core images, registers not found or some such
noise.)

Thanks.
