I suspect the onboard GX (cg6); if he's not familiar with kernel building,
RASTERCONSOLE is turned on, otherwise not.

Seeing as I get the same thing with RASTERCONSOLE off on _my_ IPX,
I'm willing to bet it's a deficiency in the interrupt code on the
onboard GX.

It is interesting to note that JOVE/EMACS do not suffer from this same
problem.

Theorem #1:  There are several ways to create a quantum black hole.
    - Butter a piece of bread and tie it, buttered side up, to a cat's back.
    - Launder any number of matched pairs of socks.
    - Divide by zero.  Someone will disappear.  It might be your lucky day.
