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.
