Hello,
       While running gnu emacs under sunview on a Sun 3/50 using an emacstool
window, I received the following message in the minibuffer:

Wrong type argument: natnump, #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o171) Save your
                     buffers immediately and please report this bug>

       The action which caused the above message was a left-button mouse hit
with META key depressed on the extreme left edge of the window.  This should
have invoked the command mouse-line-to-top.  It did nothing THIS particular
time, although the rest of the editing session (including many mouse hits)
worked fine.  My buffer was not damaged, and I continued editing.  Attempts
to recreate the "bug" were unsuccessful.

     Info:
emacs version:  18.55.3 , running in an emacstool window under sunview

machine: Sun 3/50

emacstool invoked by the following line in my .sunview file:

  emacstool -WI /usr/share/local/icons/emacs.icon  -Ww 90 -Wh 50 -Wp 2 2\ 
            -WP 840 0 -Wf 0 0 0 -Wb 255 255 255 -Wg 

major mode: fundamental
minor mode: remote  (using remote.el version 3.11 by Eric Raible)
                                        raible@orville.nas.nasa.gov
window was expanded to "full screen" size
