I am running gnu emacs 18.55 under SunOS 4.0.3.  The problem I am having is
that if I have my setenv EDITOR variable set to emacs, practically all the
programs that call the EDITOR will hang when doing so.  emacs will also hang
if I try "sh -c emacs" or even if I run sh first and then do an emacs within
that shell.  ELM 2.3 calls emacs by using sh, thus it crashes.  But NN
calls emacs directly and it hangs as well.  Any ideas?
