I have A DECstation 3100 running ULTRIX and DecWindows.  I am using the
Emacs from the unsupported tape supplied with the DECstation, which contains
version 18.51 of gnu emacs.  

My problem is during incremental searches, only every third letter is 
being read.  The first is ignored, the second one beeps and the third is
accepted.  This then repeats.

I thought it had something to do with Ctrl-S so I configured the xterm window
so as not to use C-s, C-q.  No change.  I then tried remapping incremental
search to C-`, still no change.  In this last version C-s doesn't enter into
the problem.  Any ideas?
