- This isn't a big problem, more for just your information. It was noticed
- by one of our consultants. We've told users not to resize their windows to
- 1 line.

- If you invoke emacs in an xterm (no-window emacs, not x11emacs) and
- you resize the window to one row, you get a cute error.
-
- Fatal error (6).IOT trap (core dumped)
-
- Then emacs dies and you are back at the system prompt. This also happens
- with sunview emacstool. Running an X11 Emacs window limits you to 5 lines
- minimum, so the problem isn't seen.

- We are running SunOS 4.0.3 - 4.1.3 on Sun3's and Sun4's.
- We have Gnu emacs 18.54.27 and 18.58.13
- We see it fail with X11R5/Openwindows and xterm resized to 1 line, and
- Sunview and shelltool resized to 1 line.
-
- It seems to show the same error in all cases tried.
