I recompiled GNU Emacs (18.52 + Dana Chee's X11-fixes) with
s-bsd4-3.h on my VaxStation II/RC under Ultrix 2.2.  The problem still
persists.

I remember an article saying that the problem could be cured by a call
to setpgrp to ensure that emacs was the leader of its process group,
but there was no precise information on what to do.  Can anyone supply
the patch?
