Solving my own problem: Compiling with the -traditional flag to gcc
appears to have solved it.

Does anyone know why this was necessary?  I have never needed this
flag before, and have used gcc to compile 18.55 (and maybe 18.53, not
sure I remember that far back).  So what's the diff?  Variables here
include a new OS (SunOS 4.1.1) a new version of gcc (1.39) and the new
emacs 18.57.


thanks,
