I've been having problems getting Emacs 18.55 running under aix-ps/2 1.2 It loads up and dumps itself OK. I had to stop loading inc-vers.el, though, which had been causing it to die. However, when I run the xemacs that I've just created, it just prints the message Fatal error (11).Memory fault So, fine, I ran temacs, loaded up loadup.el by hand, and executed (dump-emacs) by hand. The resulting program does indeed work, but periodically it just croaks with the same error message. I had gotten emacs to work just fine under a previous version of AIX 1.2; has anyone else seen this? What am I doing wrong? Ben -- Benjamin Fried ben@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu rutgers!columbia!ben

What am I doing wrong? My config.h had PURESIZE set at around 300000. I brought it down to 150000, and emacs worked first time out of the box. The machine in question has 4meg of ram and 8meg of page space (I realize that's probably not enough). My two guesses are that I was either creating an image too big to run, or I was running into a ulimit problem. When I figure it out, I'll post (yet another) followup.
