I am running GNU Emacs (version 18.51. -- the one distributed with the
DECstation as unsupported software) on a DECstation 3100.  It is
compiled and linked with X-windows as per the installation
instructions and appears to work fine (i.e. brings up its own window,
etc.).

I am having one problem however.  Every now and then characters get
"eaten".  This happens most often in isearch mode.  It take three
keystrokes to register one character.  For example if I am searching
for "house" i need to type "hhhooouuussseee".  And if there is an "a"
in the word that I am looking for (and I type "aaa") I get an "@"
instead (there are similar problems with other characters as well).
This also happens in auto-fill-mode; when a line wraps the next
several characters get eaten.

Anyone every encounter this before and/or have any ideas as to what
the problem may be?

Please e-mail replies.
