I had the same problems. After consulting with DEC, internal experts, and the net (thanks guys), I tracked it down to a couple of problems in Ultrix 3.0/UWS 2.0. My suggestion: upgrade to Ultrix 3.1/UWS 2.1. You might try getting GNU Emacs 18.55. I am not sure if it will fix your problems, but it is cheaper than upgrading. For those of you working on Ultrix 3.1, DEC has fixed the malloc problems that are listed in etc/MACHINES. In fact, according to DEC, the Xlib version of malloc is probably the one you want to use. (I suspect that the GNU version is still better, but that is my opinion.) -Israel -- -------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The above are my personal opinions, and in no way represent the opinions of Intel Corporation.
