We have experienced a minor problem with server-mode emacs in suntools
abrubtly terminating.  We have a network of diskless Sun 3/50's and a
3/180 fileserver.  Occasionally there are brief "NFS unable to access
fileserver" problems (there is a message in the console window).  If
you happen to be working in an emacs server window at that time, it
will terminate due to a signal 11 (segment violation, I believe) and
leave the wonderful message in your console window: "Child of tty left 
a core dump".

It doesn't happen a lot but can be a bit of a nuisance.  Anyone else
have this problem?  We are at GNU Emacs rev 18.41.2, and Sunos rev 3.2. 

Thanks,
Nelson Lerner
