We will get an HP9000/840 in September. Naturally, we would like to
run GNU Emacs on it. Has anybody ported it already? I remember
somebody saying somewhere that a port to the HP Precision Architecture
will be problematic, something with the way GNU Emacs uses pointers.

Another difficult thing might be unexec. Is it possible to implement
the shared data feature? If not, would it be possible to play around
with the System V shared memory stuff in some way, so that the Emacs
users would share one copy of the pure Lisp code?
