   Dear GNUers:

   I successfully compiled GNU EMACS on a DECstation 5000 runnig ULTRIX
   4.0.  I have users with DECstation 3100s running ULTRIX 4.0 as well.  I NFS
   serve GNU EMACS up to their DS3100 and they occasionally have problems getting
   into emacs.  The message they get is:

   /usr/local/bin/emacs:  bad address  

   This seems to be an intermittant problem.  What causes a "bad address" 
   message?   If they get into emacs one time, then if they invoke it again
   immediately afterwards, then it doesn't work.  However, if they do an
   ls  in between, it seems to work.  Could it be a physical memory limitation?


			 Thanks in advance,

			 Tom Wallis
