If you build Emacs on Solaris 8, does it work ok on Solaris 8?

RE: make-frame-on-display returns BadAtom error

I have just tried building emacs on Solaris 8 (we are using gcc 2.7.2.3)
but I get the same problem. Note that if I try make-frame-on-display
on a UNIX type machine I get a BadWindow error (code 3).
I get a BadAtom error (code 18) when I try to connect to Exceed 6.1 on a
Windows NT machine.

I have just tried out Solaris 9 and I have the smae problems as with Solaris
8.

Do I understand correctly that the problem happens even without Exceed 
being used, i.e. if you run the X version of Emacs on a Unix box?

If so, please tell what toolkit did you build Emacs with.  Also, does the 
technique outlined in etc/DEBUG (search for "If you encounter X protocol 
errors") help to investigate this probelem?

It sounds like you are now saying that no Emacs executable you can
construct works properly on Solaris 8, and the same for Solaris 9.

Is this correct?

If that is the case, I don't know how we can debug it.  Only a Solaris
and X wizard can debug it.

Thanks I will try this out.
