Re: [Swarm-Support] emacs memory related trouble building Swarm on Suse

[Bill Northcott]

This is exactly where I come unstuck trying to build on HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1. 
 It does not crash but java-stubs.elc does not properly build the stubs. I 
canot see why, but now I wonder if it is related to the SUSE problem.

I have tried three different versions of emacs: The HP suppplied one and 
two more recent which I built myself.

Any suggestions?
