Some weeks ago, before emacs came out on comp.binaries.atari.st, i posted a
binary patch for temacs. This patch seems to change the probability of the
bug, which should be fixed from 1:100 to 50:100 (:-(). More and more people
tell me that they have problems with this patch (system crashes after the
timeout for the startup-screen). The correct solution for this problem can't
be done with a simple binary patch (the program size will increase more than
a few bytes).
		So please forget about this patch!

The original bug will probably never hit you anyway.
