Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

While running Emacs in console terminal mode (accessible through
C-M-F[1-12]) and playing nethack via nethack-el,
Emacs will randomly coredump, saying "Fatal error(6).Aborted"; there
don't seem to be any specific causes, but I first noticed it while
pressing "i" to examine inventory. This occurs regardless of whether
it runs with customizations (ie Emacs -q will still crash). The system
is a minimalistic Debian testing. The Emacs and nethack-el packages
are
likewise from testing. The crashing does not occur when I run it under
X and ratpoison. I've asked the nethack-el devs and they referred me
to filing a bug report with Emacs.

Emacs bug(?) report

Hi,

I am trying to run Emacs version 21.2.1 on HP-UX Itanium plattform. Yes, I know it is an unsupported OS but what happens is so astonishing that I decided to drop you a note anyway. When I issue command:

$ emacs filename
(for example $ emacs foo.txt)

then the only buffers Emacs gives me are messages and scratch. There is no buffer containing foo.txt. Please note that foo.txt is an existing file.

Is this a bug? If not, what is the explanation to this behaviour and how do I get around it?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Felix
