GNU Emacs for the Apollos hangs on using DIRED and RMAIL.  I eventually
traced the problem to a call to sigpause in wait_for_termination.  I
replaced the sigpause with a "sleep(2)" and everything seems to work fine.
The releveant code is:

        if (wait_debugging)
        then sleep(1);
        else sigpause(0);

Which I changed to:

        sleep(2);

I haven't any idea why sigpause doesn't work.
