I don't know what is wrong, but introducing a spurious xterm process
so that the Emacs is a subprocess of xterm rather than the window
manager fixed the problem for the most part for us.  See my
recent much-flamed post on comp.unix that explains how I do this (it
also explains why, but that had no apparent effect on the flamers...).

I'm running a Sun 3, operating system release 3.0, Emacs version
18.36.9.  My guess is that the problem is an operating system bug
because Stallman couldn't reproduce it running release 3.2.  Does
anyone out there running anything other than a Sun with os release 3.0
having this problem?  Is anyone out there who is running a Sun with os
release 3.0 NOT having the problem?
