I'm having the following problem with gnuemacs 18.50, running under
HPUX on an 825 (and a 325). I'm running gnuemacs under X10, and such that
gnuemacs is NOT running in an xterm, rather it is doing the display
itself (i.e. talking to the X server).

Now, when I stop my xsession (by whatever means), this gnu-emacs
should terminate. Also, suppose I'm running gnuemacs on some (remote) machine,
on my (local) display. When I stop my local xsession, the gnuemacs
on the remote should also stop.

The problem, of course, is that in neither case does gnuemacs seem
to realize that the X server it has been talking to has died!
So, gnuemacs just hangs around, taking up space and cycles, doing
nothing. Other X programs (i.e. xterm etc) realize when the X server
dies and exit accordingly. So, any insight? Is this problem local
to HPUX? Any suggested fixes -- like checking for a broken pipe
on the X socket perhaps? [ I have no idea where to start looking for
this though...]

	Any help appreciated,
