We just would like to let you know that we tried to compile GNU emacs 21.2.1 using the DEC C compiler (DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0f) using the optimization "-O4 -arch ev6 -tune ev6". With this optimization emacs could be started, but it gave all kinds of strange behavior. For example, "emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file" resulted in the error message (emacs --no-init-file --no-site-file) Loading tool-bar...done Loading image...done Loading tooltip...done remove-hook: Wrong type argument: listp, 0 Then we recompiled GNU emacs 21.2.1 using the optimization "-O4". Now emacs seems to be working correctly. So our problems were most likely due to a compiler error. (We didn't attempt to debug this in more detail.) Roland
