Earlier, I posted diffs run 17.45 on DYNIX 2.0.  Note that if you use patch
it will drop the _NEW_ file "m-sequent.h" which should be used, so do that by
hand.  Also, the next release of GNU emacs will use alloca.s instead of the C
version.  If you would like a version of alloca.s that works on the Balance,
please mail me a note.  A C compiler bug in dealing with shorts in registers
was discovered that prevents the scroll screen commands from working
properly.  Please include the following three lines in "m-sequent.h" to make
C-v and M C-v work properly (until C compiler is fixed).

---- addition to "m-sequent.h" ----
/* This triggers some stuff to avoid a compiler bug */
