I cannot run emacs version 18.55 on a Sun-4/470: it (xemacs) dumps core in
malloc, viz:

program terminated by signal ABRT (abort)
(dbx) where
kill() at 0xe4d68
abort() at 0xe8da4
malloc(n = 6), line 515 in "malloc.c"
yp_unbind() at 0xf2fe8
yp_get_default_domain() at 0xf3028
setpwent() at 0xe74e0
getpwuid() at 0xe731c
init_editfns(), line 69 in "editfns.c"
main(argc = 1, argv = 0xf7fffbf4, envp = 0xf7fffbfc), line 361 in "emacs.c"
(dbx) dump
shiftr = 0
nunits = 1
nbytes = 16
p = 0x163560
n = 6
(dbx)

Configuration details:
      s-sunos4.h
      m-sparc.h
      HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS (set at top of config.h)

Everything was compiled with -g, operating system version is 4.1, compiler
used was cc.

Is this a known problem?  Can anyone help me (I do not get netnews nor am I on
any relevant mailing lists myself so please send email).
