I recently posted a query on some problems we had observed with
HPUX 6.5.  Here is a summary of the responses I received:

1.  (problems with stopped X jobs; suspect "stty -tostop" is broken).
   
    No responses (any ideas?).


2.  (problems with missing symbols building gnuemacs18.51; X10 troubles)

    Several people pointed out (correctly) that the problem is in 
    gnuemacs' private crt0.o file, which fails to define some symbols.
    Solution is to patch emacs' crt0.c.  Apparently gnuemacs 18.53 fixes
    this problem for 6.2, but not for 6.5.  Apologies to HP for blaming
    them for a Gnu bug.

    Also, the 6.2 release of X10 *is* incompatible with 6.5, but an
    upgrade is available from HP for those who need to run X10 under 6.5.


3.  (problems with tset)

    No one else had problems.  (I haven't been able to verify the
    user's problem either...)


4.  (problems with remsh; stty errors)

    Many people surmised (correctly) that some users had stty commands
    in their .cshrc files, which complained.


Thanks to all who responded; if anyone gets to the bottom of the 
"stopped xterm job" problem, please le me know.
