    I'm posting a followup to the above message because my problem may
be related.

    I'm not sure if this is the proper place to ask my question or if
it has been discussed here before (since I just started reading this
newsgroup)... So I apologize now if I'm commiting a grave faux-pas.

THE ENVIRONMENT:
    I compiled emacs-18.55 on a Sun-4/390 running SunOS 4.1_PSR_A (the
    PSR_A release has IPI support). Another guy where I work brought up
    18.55 on a Sun-4/330 (same CPU as a /390) on 4.0.3 and it works
    fine.

THE CONFIGURATION:
    In config.h, I used s-sunos4.h and m-sparc.h. I didn't configure in
    any of the X stuff. I then edited build-install and ran it. It
    built emacs, then appeared to have properly dumped emacs (no errors
    or warnings when running temacs -- all of the Loading ... messages
    looked normal).

THE PROBLEM:
    Running the resulting emacs binary results in:

                  Fatal error (6).Abort (core dumped)

DEBUGGING INFO:
    The temacs binary comes up OK. Doing a 'dbx' on the resulting core
    file gives the following (just the top 6 calls are given):

    kill() at 0x5fa98
    abort() at 0x63664
    malloc(n = 4), line 515 in "emacs/src/malloc.c"
    xmalloc(size = 4), line 93 in "emacs/src/alloc.c"
    Fload(str = 51053524, missing_ok = 17502260, nomessage = 17502260,
	nosuffix = 17502220), line 219 in "emacs/src/lread.c"
    Ffuncall(nargs = 4, args = 0xf7fff2a0), line 1698 in "emacs/src/eval.c"
    Fbyte_code(bytestr = 50911816, vector = 67689752, maxdepth = 18),
	line 271 in "emacs/src/bytecode.c"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Does anybody know what "Fatal error (6)" means?

    If anybody has any idea what's going on or where to go next to fix
this, please let me know. If there are already patches for this or any
related SunOS problems, please point me to where I can find them...
