I've just started trying to use "emacstool" to run GNU Emacs
(version 18.53.2) on my Sun SPARCSTATION (running SunOS 4.0.3c
and SunView), and I've bumped into what seems to be a glaring bug.
Under the menu "Mouse Help" sub "Text Region", if I hit right-mouse
to try to get out of the menu, I get a message "Fatal error (6)." and
then the tool dies.  (Other random responses don't seem to be
able to get me out of the menu.)
So: is there any way of looking at this menu without killing the
process?  Is there something wrong with the way I've set things up?
Is this a known bug and is there a known fix (e.g., getting a newer
version of GNU Emacs?)
