We have found that emacs 18.55 won't run on a SUN Sparc machine,
running SUN o/s 4.1.  (It compiled fine).
We found a note in gnus suggesting that we add:
#define SYSTEM_MALLOC
to the s-sunos4.h file.
With this change, emacs now appears to run OK.
Will there be a patch/upgrade/new-version?
Is this the correct fix for the problem?
