Re: apparent AIX 5.2 undump problem for 22.0.90 pretest

[Joe Buehler]

The immediate problem can be worked around by building emacs
as a user who has no access to /dev/kmem (normal users do not).
This causes getloadavg to fail before emacs undumps, leaving
state initialized properly for operation after the undump.

However, there is probably a flaw in undump here that is likely
to cause other problems.  It appears that state is being preserved
across undump that should not be.

Perhaps this is the reason for some strange behavior of emacs 21 under
AIX that I have never taken the time to debug -- e.g. compile mode
output sometimes gets truncated.
