Dear Jurgen,

	I am not able to offer any suggestions, however I have problems using
Emacs under Ultrix 4.0 on a VAX. If Emacs is spawned from a program using
the Unix C lib function "system()", the spawning program gets a SIGIO signal
and Emacs hangs. Actually, the keyboard input is going to the spawning process
and not Emacs as it should. These problems may be related. I will post my own
message regarding this. If you hear any news please inform me and I shall
do the same.
						Best Wishes,
						Greg McPherran
