Ok, I finally bit the bullet and decided to go from 18.52 to 18.55!
The new version runs fine under X11 (pops up a window, runs
virtually bug free etc). When used in an xterm window, or on
a regular tty C-g causes emacs to crash and dump core, followed
by logging out the user, as follows:

% emacs
... C-g typed after startup message appears ...
Fatal error (3).
Quit - core dumped
% logout		; I assume here, that a C-d is causing the logout??

This seems to have something to do with INTERRUPT_INPUT, as far as
I can tell - but I can't find anything about it in TFM. Can anybody
give me a hand? Responses to me please, since I don't think this
is of interest to the whole net...

Thanks,
