- The problem is unrelated. Stock elvis does not support suspending.

-
- The source on tsx-11 is the same as the that on prep. My most recent
- linux-specific patches are in
-
- tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin.X11/x11emacs.patches
-
- I will be releasing a new version that supports shared libraries shortly.
