I built 18.52 on SYS V/386 and re-worked it to emulate WordStar keys. Control-G was then the delete forward character. On using emacs, it would occasionaly die when I typed multiple control-g's. It seems that emacs uses the termio stuff to set control-g as generating SIGQUIT and SIGINTR. If you type a second control-g when the process is still paged out, SYS V then kills it. I had to map the DEL key to SIGQUIT and SIGINTR in order to make emacs useable.
