*** Emacs fails to understand most Internet host names, even though
the names work properly with other programs on the same system.

This typically happens on Suns and other systems that use shared
libraries. The cause is that the site has installed a version of the
Upgrade to AUC TeX version 10 or later, and make sure it is
byte-compiled with Emacs 21.
+** PCL-CVS
+
+*** Lines are not updated or new lines are added in the buffer upon commit.
+
+When committing files located higher in the hierarchy than the examined
+directory, some versions of the CVS program return an ambiguous message
+from which PCL-CVS cannot extract the full location of the committed
+files. As a result, the corresponding lines in the PCL-CVS buffer are
+not updated with the new revision of these files, and new lines are
+added to the top-level directory.
+
+This can happen with CVS versions 1.12.8 and 1.12.9. Upgrade to CVS
+1.12.10 or newer to fix this problem.

Use the shell command `xset bc' to make the old X Menu package work.
+*** C-SPC fails to work on Fedora GNU/Linux.
+
+Fedora Core 4 steals the C-SPC key by default for the `iiimx' program
+which is the input method for some languages. It blocks Emacs users
+from using the C-SPC key for `set-mark-command'.
+
+One solutions is to remove the `<Ctrl>space' from the `Iiimx' file
+which can be found in the `/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults' directory.
+However, that requires root access.
+
+Another is to specify `Emacs*useXIM: false' in your X resources.
+
+Another is to build Emacs with the `--without-xim' configure option.

+Beginning with version 22.1, Emacs supports the --color command-line
option which may be used to force Emacs to use one of a few popular
modes for getting colors on a tty. For example, --color=ansi8 sets up
for using the ANSI-standard escape sequences that support 8 colors.
** GNU/Linux
+*** GNU/Linux: Process output is corrupted.
+
+There is a bug in Linux kernel 2.6.10 PTYs that can cause emacs to
+read corrupted process output.
+
+*** GNU/Linux: Remote access to CVS with SSH causes file corruption.
+
+If you access a remote CVS repository via SSH, files may be corrupted
+due to bad interaction between CVS, SSH, and libc.
+
+To fix the problem, save the following script into a file, make it
+executable, and set CVS_RSH environment variable to the file name of
+the script:
+
+#!/bin/bash

+creates a different memory layout that breaks the emacs dumper. Emacs tries
+to handle this at build time, but if the workaround used fails, these
+instructions can be useful.
+The work-around explained here is not enough on Fedora Core 4 (and possible
+newer). Read the next item.
Configure can overcome the problem of exec-shield if the architecture is
x86 and the program setarch is present. On other architectures no

+*** Fedora Core 4 GNU/Linux: Segfault during dumping.
+
+In addition to exec-shield explained above "Linux: Segfault during
+`make bootstrap' under certain recent versions of the Linux kernel"
+item, Linux kernel shipped with Fedora Core 4 randomizes the virtual
+address space of a process. As the result dumping may fail even if
+you turn off exec-shield. In this case, use the -R option to the setarch
+command:
+
+ setarch i386 -R ./temacs --batch --load loadup [dump|bootstrap]

+or
+
+ setarch i386 -R make bootstrap
