System name:		hydrox-cookie and copilot
Type and version:	KN01 7.2R (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PM-MONO

What were you trying to do?
Cut from emacs and paste into ez.

What's wrong:
Ez froze and emacs on the decmips died with

data size rlimit exceeded, pid 4541, proc emacs
Error: Cannot perform malloc

without a coredump.  I'm not sure if this is the fault of my pasting, but it
sure seemed like it.  As soon as I selected paste in ez, it did that.  I tried
this again, and it killed emacs again with the same error (different pid, of
course) on the second paste into the ez window.  The first paste worked ok in
the ez window.

What should have happened:
It should have cut and pasted properly.
