Hello,

I have a problem with emacs 19.19, under 386bsd-0.1-2.3 (and 2.4).
I compiled emacs with the distributed (i386-unknown-386bsd --with-x),
when i start it from the command line it is ok, but under less (or 
nn, ...), when $EDITOR is emacs, it just says: 
  Suspended (tty output)
(or something like that), and dies. Does anybody have a cure?

Neither cc or gcc-2.4.{3,5} seem to help, nor emacsclient.

Regards Henrik
