In trying to identify some problems I've been having on the pmax, I
made an "emacs" csh script that runs /usr/athena/emacs and then tells
me when it exits.  Today I got no emacs window; I just got:

10:37 Segmentation violation
10:37 emacs exited.

A second attempt to start emacs seems to work fine.  (My normal emacs
startup is "(emacs -f server-start &)", which sometimes has the
problem that the subprocess for server-start goes off in space.)
