I got an "empty text" message from my kernel a few minutes ago.  I thought we
took this message out, but perhaps we left it for appropriate occasions, and
this might have been one.

Hecate went down while I was running emacs from the emacsdev locker on it.  I
xkill'd the emacs window, which of course didn't make the process go away right
away.  when the swap to hecate finally timed out, I got "swap: read error from
swap space," and then shortly after, the "empty text" message.

SHould I have gotten this message?
