I've been experiencing unexplained failures using emacs on my Sun 3/110.
I can't duplicate the circumstances, but it happens once or twice a day
that emacs will suspend after a dead pause.  When I reenter, it knows
something is wrong, so it asks me if I want to auto-save and whether I
want to dump core.

Other clues are that it seems often to happen when I try to access another
file with ^X ^F.

Is this a known bug?  Could it be that I am accidentally invoking some
sort of destruct sequence.
?
