We're running SunOS 4.1.1 and I recently had an I/O error writing
my primary inbox. The disk was local to the system in question,
i.e. no NFS. I, too, was using typeahead. (I remember because I
distinctly remember saying "Whoa!" when the error message
appeared and was thankful that emacs discards buffer input upon
signaling an error.) It's hard to imagine how typeahad coould be
causing a disk write error, but here's some at least offer
corrobating testimony.
