	Has anyone gotten Epoch 4.2 working properly on an SGI 4D/60 or SGI
Crimson Elan?  We're running Irix 4.0.5 on both machines.  On the 4D/60T, I
always get this error message when I go to read in a file:

Stack underflow in byte code (byte compiler bug), pc = 9

The second time I do the find-file, it works.

	We just got our new Crimson today.  I can't even get Epoch loaded.
I get the error:

Dumping under names epoch and epoch-4.2.3
*** Termination code 139
 
Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1
 
Stop.


Any clues?

thanks,
pat

Man, I think I'm doomed to answer this question until eternity.

Pick up the unexmips.c from the Emacs 18.59 distribution. It works out of
the box.

	many thanks to dario@wotan.NYU.EDU (Dario Ringach) for the answer.
i took the src/unexmips.c file from the 18.59 distribution and put it in
the Epoch src directory.  everything seems to work now.

Well, if you could get SGI to stick Emacs and Epoch on the next
distribution CD with a big ``unsupported'' sticker on it...
