[comp.emacs] GNU emacs skipping input characters under VMS

khai@amara.uucp (S. Khai Mong) (03/18/89)

I have installed GNU emacs 18.52 under VMS 5.0.  Everything works fine
except for one irritating thing.  Occasionally, some keystrokes would be 
missed.  It is particularly noticeable when the function keys are 
or auto repeat keys are held down.  In such cases, an 'ESC' character
may sometimes have slipped, resulting in the remaining esc sequence
bein inserted into the buffer --- a dangerous situation.

Seems to be some input buffer overflow problem or bad interrupt
handling of QIO?  Has anybody else experienced similar problems
and any ideas how to correct it?
