I'm trying to port gnu emacs to a friend's new 4D/25, running 3.2.1.
I have already gotten it running on our 4D/{80,20,25}s running 3.2.
In trying this I ran into a problem -- the thing drops core inside
XDisplayOpen (actually, well inside --- inside the call to
gethostbyname)
In hunting down the problem we set him up to use remote nameservice.
Now his nameserver returns his domain in uppercase, and the newsserver
complains about security violations.
SO:
A) I remember reading something about using canonicalizehostname to
solve this sort of problem. What were the fixes
B) Has anyone gotten emacs 18.55 running under 3.2.1 with X? It runs
just fine if I use the IP address of the display instead of its
hostname, but crashes with this stack :

Does this mean anything to anybody?
