System:   SunOS 4.1.1 on 4/380  with GNU Emacs 18.57 and GNUS 3.13 and RMAIL

Problem:  Lately we have been occasionally getting "Memory Exhaustion" 
	  errors when trying to use GNUS or RMAIL.  Emacs won't run
	  after someone gets one of these for a random number of
	  minutes, and then it is fine again.  One time when I tried
	  to run it after the error, I got this error:

Illegal instruction  emacs -f gnus (core dumped)

	  which doesn't tell me much.  Any ideas?
          I just upgraded it to 18.57 about 1 month ago, and it
	  has just started happening in the past week.

Thanks for any pointers!
