I am using GNU Emacs version 18.52.1

I am trying to create an Eiffel mode and when I attempt to invoke ec I either
get a Segmentation fault or the following message:

	"Sorry, user's login name and real name are different or not authorized
    to use Eiffel in this installation:
	    Login name: root
       Real name: proj126
 	..."

ESC-x !ec yields the Segmentation fault.  
ESC-x shell ec yields the login name/real name clash message.
(compile (concat "ec " modulename)) yields either error - I can't explain 
the inconsistent results.

When :!ec is issued from vi, there is no problem, so I suspect the problem
is with emacs rather than eiffel.

I executed a small program in place of the ec calls that prints the real
and effective uids.  They both come out to be 9 which as expected corresponds
to "proj126"

Does anyone have any clues as to what is going on here?

Thanks very much
