1. The "Kernel refused execution ..." message is because Concentrix cannot
   execute programs residing on an NFS filesystem.  This is probably not
   related to your problem.
2. Since everything works on a local filesystem, I'd suspect NFS.  If you
   have the partitions from the Sun "soft" mounted, then NFS is loosing
   your file as it is writing it out (a performance problem on the Alliant
   side).  You should have the partitions "hard" mounted -- it will save
   you months worth of grief, even if you do have to wait every once and a 
   while for a machine to reboot.  (See the sun mount(8) man page).

   The Alliant console should be displaying "NFS server not responding"
   "NFS server ok" messages when this happens.
3. Maybe it really is an emacs problem.
