 I've got a problem I haven't been able to decypher yet. This is on a
Sun Sparcstation1 that's a diskless client running SunOS 4.1. (This
problem doesn't occur on other clients.)

 Whenever I attempt to enter emacs, it freezes and this is put into
/var/adm/messages:

	vmunix: sendsig: bad signal stack pid=1615, sig=11
	vmunix: sigsp = 0xf77ff540, action = 0x552f8, upc=0x3214
	vmunix: sendsig: bad signal stack pid=1615, sig=1
	vmunix: sigsp = 0xf77ff540, action = 0x552f8, upc=0x3214

 First with SIGSEGV then with SIGHUP. [I assume that the HUP's sent
when I kill the telnet or rlogin session.] This also makes the rest of
the system really drag (like it's trying desperately to get swap space
or something.)

 Anyone seen anything like this? If more information is needed I'll
get it to you.
