There are several problems with running GNU EMACS version 17 under DOMAIN
SR9.5.1.  I believe the particular problem you're reporting has been fixed in
GNU EMACS 18.41, but there are still other bugs lurking: some are GNU EMACS
bugs and some are APOLLO C compiler bugs.

The good news is that over the last few months I have been working with APOLLO
closely to produce a reliable GNU EMACS that integrates reasonably into the
environment.  The new version supports direct use of GPR for robustness and
efficiency, gives one a META key, and starts up quickly through a dumping
strategy.  At long last we can flush all the "you cannot do this on APOLLO"
comments from GNU EMACS!

With the release of SR9.5 at last, I can make the new support
publicly available in the standard distribution.

Within a few hours (as soon as I find out how to get 400K of tar file from here
to MIT-PREP), look for a file /u2/emacs/dist/apollo-emacs.tar which has
replacements and additions to 18.41 to support the APOLLO and GPR.  This same
version should shortly be available from ADUS, since I sent it to them a few
days ago.

RMS: Please merge these changes into the standard release, so that version 19
will have APOLLO support.
