Hi, I'm Kenneth Duda, a Project Athena Contingent Consultant. A user
encountered the following problem using m-x spell-buffer:

I tried as you suggested
m-x spell-buffer
but in the emacs info window I got:
bin/spell 4432 Memory fault
What now?

That's a neat one. It's working for me, so I'll need some more
information... you are on a Vax, right? Could you tell me
what other programs you're running and the name of the file
you're trying to spell-check?

Yes, I'm on a vax. My set up is one extra xterm window, the emacs window, and x
clock (which is setup it my .startup.X file). The name of the file is neonates.
mss in /mit/scottd/biomech.dir . I'm using scribe neonates.mss to scribe the
file.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please let me know if this is not a bug, and I just made some sort of
silly mistake!
Thank you.
