I'm just wondering why nearly everyone running GNU emacs on AIX/370 defines CANNOT_DUMP in his
configuration files. 
I used Jim's config files found on byron.u.washington.edu for quite some time living with the loooooong
startup time due to lisp code loadup and some bugs caused by it in various parts of GNU Emacs.
With 18.57 I started to experiment a little, commented out the CANNOT_DUMP, and, yup, it worked.

It also works with epoch-3.2 (pl. 2) which is based on 18.55, so I think it's no 18.57 feature. I can make
my config files available for ftp (if anyone is interested... ;-) ).
