Howdy GNUrus,

I just installed GNU Emacs 18.53 on a VAX 11/785 running BSD 4.3,
and I'm seeing a problem that I have no idea how to track down.
Emacs comes up just fine when it's called from the command line
but it hangs when invoked from another program.  As an example using
the ~e command within mail will cause emacs to stop. (STAT is T when
a ps is done.)  

Any ideas?
