I am having trouble running Gnuemacs 18.53 (X11 upgrade) on a Sequent Balance.

It seems that when Gnu Emacs is not the process group leader, and is talking
over a socket to an X server it does not receive SIGIOs even though a call
to setpgrp() has been made.

Can anyone give me information that would confirm or deny this?  Are
there known bugs in the SIGIO fcntl?  Are there patches - or do we
have to hack up the source to fix it?

Thanks in advance.
Dee
