I am running gnu emacs 18.55 under SunOS 4.0.3.  The problem I am having is
that emacs seems to be hanging whenever it is spawned by another program. For
example, if I do a "sh -c emacs" it hangs.  For that matter, even if I start
sh and run emacs from inside that shell, it hangs.  ELM 2.3 runs the editor
in this manner, so I have to unsetenv EDITOR every time I go to use that
program.  Other programs have problems as well, without even using sh. Pnews
and NN both call emacs directly, but they hang when doing so.

Any ideas?
