Gnu Emacs 18.4[69] on a 3B2 running 3.1

[David Wexelblat]

We recently upgraded our 3B2/400 computers to System V, Release 3.1.  We
had previously been running (successfully) gnu 18.46.  We recently obtained
18.49, so naturally I wanted to install it.  After building the program,
it starts up OK, but does not run correctly (e.g. the first ^X-^F yields
a message about 'not listp, t', but second and subsequent executions work;
random reports of 'byte-compile stack overflow' when compile is not running).
The old 18.46 executable works fine, but a recompiled 18.46 from the same
sources does not work.

I am using the 'm-att3b.h' file and have tried both 's-usg5-2.h' and
's-usg5-2-2.h'.  We are using the C programming utils, issue 4 compiler.
Any suggestions would be appreciated (is there an s-usg5-3.h anywhere?).

Also, when logged in remotely over StarLan, emacs does not work at all.
It starts up, but does not draw the initial screen or the modeline.  It
writes '(mark set)' where the minibuffer should be.  If any keys are pressed,
the terminal (a Unix-PC) starts beeping like mad.  If I am lucky, it will
respond to ^X-^C and go away.

Any help anyone can give me with these problems would be greatly appreciated.
