Emacs does run on NP1 but the tags problem is still there.  You can
reproduce it by using Emacs on a large file, preferably something over
12 megabytes. At some point the tags cause the editor to have multiple
lines all with the same virtual address. This alias problem causes the
editor to pretty much loose it's mind.
