Emacs on MIPS/120

	I am having some problems with GNU Emacs 18.55 on a MIPS/120
 running RISC/os 4.01. Emacs has been made with the "s-usg5-2.h" and
the "m-mips.h" set in the config.h file, and will make without any
problems. The trouble is that it displays some serious problems when
run.  It seems that the conventional bindings of C-z (suspend) and C-y
(delayed suspend) are still holding in emacs.  C-z does a system
suspend, and does not execute the suspend-emacs lisp code.  C-y does a
delayed suspend and not a yank. Shell and telnet are not working
properly (they won't display any output). Filename completion is not
working correctly either, a C-x C-f and then a SPC produces a
completion list that consists of only one '\' for each file. If you
try to type part of a filename and use the completion keys, it won't
match at all. I have built previous versions of Emacs on a MIPS/M1000
system running the MIPS UMIPS/BSD system and did not run into these
problems. I have tried to set myself up (on the MIPS/120) to use the
BSD includes and cpp, and then make emacs with "s-bsd4-3.h" which will
compile and link, but then temacs will die with "Termination code 139"
when it tries to dump emacs. Can anyone offer any assistance? Please
reply by mail.
