[comp.emacs] Emacs process dying...

mjr@planet.bt.co.uk (Martyn Reason) (10/11/90)

I have recently been introduced to emacs, just finding how useful it
really is, and am running version 18.55 on a SPARCstation 1 (with GX), 
under SunOS 4.1.

I have a problem with emacs quitting (seemingly of its own accord). I am
able to use it for hours at a time with no problem. It seems to me that
I mainly have problems after using xlock or the screen being blanked for
sometime using screenblank - although not always :-(. Sometimes I am left 
with a core file, although I haven't had one left for a couple of days now. 
I used dbx once - it did not tell me anything I could make use of...

We have around 30 SS1's in my office. Why is it that only my machine
seems to be affected. The only other person with the GX module does not
run emacs. Could it be something to do with this?

Any ideas?
