I have encountered the following bug while installing GNU Emacs 18.55
on a Sun 4/380 running SunOS 4.1.   Any assistance in locating a fix
would be appreciated.

From the distribution tape, I modified the config.h to
  m-sparc.h and s-sunos4.h

Everything compiled fine (one warning about redefinition of O_???)
but when ran, the program crashes (Fatal error (6).Abort (core dumped))

According to dbx, it died in malloc.c,
    kill() at 0x5f8f8
    abort() at 0x63494
    malloc(n = 6), line 515 in "malloc.c"
    yp_unbind() at 0x68058
    yp_get_default_domain() at 0x68098
    setpwent() at 0x61bd0
    getpwuid() at 0x61a0c
    init_editfns(), line 69 in "editfns.c"
    main(argc = 1, argv = 0xf7ffff3c, envp = 0xf7ffff44), line 361 in "emacs.c"

and the reason for the abort is:
 print *p
*`malloc`malloc`p = {
        mh_alloc = '\0'
        mh_index = '^A'
        mh_size  = 0


Any ideas?
