I doubt this is a bug in Emacs (it's probably a Sun bug), but I'm very
sure one of you can help me work around it. I built GNU Emacs 18.55 on
a Sun-4 running Sun OS 4.1, and installed everything. I then ran the
complete Emacs image, and got the following message:

	Fatal error (6). IOT trap

I used the Sun cc compiler since I don't have gcc readily available
yet.  I'm sure that I used the correct header files within "config.h",
viz., "s-sunos4.h" (not "s-bsd4-2.h") and "m-sparc.h". I also
uncommented and set HIGHPRI to -5, although I doubt that matters here.
The rest of the sources are unmodified.

I've been installing Emacs for years on Sun-3's, so I can't imagine
that I screwed anything up, but I'll gladly be humbled for the sake of
getting things going on the Sparc machine. Our UUCP machine will be
down for upgrades during the next day or two, so call me on the phone
if you can.  Thanks in advance.
