I have ported GNU Emacs to the RS/6000 by myself, a while before
joining comp.unix.aix.  My version will get the same message, but it
doesn't die.  It will not read in filenames from the command line,
because of this.  The error is a type-mismatch, a number is wanted and
a different type, like a string is there instead.
