Emacs is looping in server mode

I am having a problem running emacs 18.55 on a Stardent ST3000 series
(titan) machine running release 4.0 Beta of the operating system.  I
obtained the source from Stardent, and I think the mods for this
machine may not be in the standard release.

It compiles and runs apparently correctly, but if I attempt to start a
server process with the "server-start" command (either from the
.emacsrc or by hand) the emacs process appears to loop.  The symptoms
are these: it uses all available CPU on the machine; it still appears
to function, accept input and respond correctly, but it repeats the
display of any minibuffer prompts to give a "flicker" effect.  Note
that it is the emacs process using CPU rather than the server one.

Have any emacs gurus seen this behaviour before, or can you suggest
what might be going on?  Is there any other relevant information I can
give you?  Please help me.
