I don't know if this is a bug or (most likely) a problem with a variable or
something along that line.

When I log in from home on to our VAX/VMS machine and invoke emacs it locks
up.  I have to relog in through another line and stop the process.

I put in the .emacs file

(debug)

and that's the only line, it start's up show's the *scratch* buffer on top and
the *backtrace* in the bottom window.  After stepping through the startup 
.emacs file it locks up again.  If I use the -q command arg it still locks up.
There is other people here at Intel that have the same problem.

This only happens when logging in from home, through a defender account and
a terminal server system.  Logging in at work through the terminal server there
is no problems.

The version we are running is:  18.41.4

and the variable emacs_term = vt200-80

Logging into a Ultrix system I have no problems either, whether that makes a
difference, I doubt it.

Do you have any suggestions as why, there is no real emacs 'expert' here.
