*Me too* :-)) Anyway, some comments from my experience:

- The emacs process doesn't crash, but it waits for something quite a long
time - eventually all the accumulated keystrokes get executed. This can
take some 1-2 minutes...

- This doesn't happen when I telnet oder rlogin into the alpha und run
emacs over the network. Well, at least it hasn't happened yet :-)

- I *think* this mostly happens in textmode, not so often under X.

Anyone here with more insight?

Thanks,

   Michael
