We have this same problem with version 18.48 on our Symmetry. The ? problem appears to be fixed in version 18.51 (using an unmodified ? m-sequent.h). Rbj, which version of emacs are you using? 18.51. I used the C_ALLOCA because of the 75%/85%/95% warning feature. I have often found PURESIZE slightly too small, perhaps because of our site-init.el feature, which maps ^^ -> ^Q & ^\ -> ^S. I do not know which change made the difference, but am happy with both of them in. ? -mjs ? -- ? Michael J.
