The immediate problem can be worked around by building emacs as a user who has no access to /dev/kmem (normal users do not). This causes getloadavg to fail before emacs undumps, leaving state initialized properly for operation after the undump.
However, there is probably a flaw in undump here that is likely to cause other problems. It appears that state is being preserved across undump that should not be. Perhaps this is the reason for some strange behavior of emacs 21 under AIX that I have never taken the time to debug -- e.g. compile mode output sometimes gets truncated. -- Joe Buehler <DIV><FONT size="1"> E-mail confidentiality. -------------------------------- This e-mail contains confidential and / or privileged information belonging to Spirent Communications plc, its affiliates and / or subsidiaries.
