I just got GNUemacs version 18.32 (updated from 18.31 via diffs), and
I was able to compile it and run successfully on a SUN, and a uvaxII.
However, when I tried to get it to compile and run on a GOULD running
UTX/32 release 1.3, it died big time.  I did the #undef BSTRING in
m-gould.h, but the executable resulting still is dead in the water.

The temacs does the inc-vers, loadup, and dump just fine.  However,
xemacs dies in the terminal initialization, in the call to tgetent,
which calls malloc.  Malloc dies with an apparent free list
corruption.  I enclose a copy of the dbx output on the core dump:

If anybody out there knows what is wrong, could they please mail me,
since I figure there aren't too many people out there who have this
problem.
