Fellow efs'ers:

The following buffer is not from the core dumped emacs but I thought
I'd send this info. to the list as emacs core dumped in regex matching
from EFS/DIRED (I think):

    dbx version 3.12 Apr 22 1993 23:48:24
    Type 'help' for help.
    Reading symbolic information of `/usr/local/bin/emacs' . . .

    (dbx) 

I'm going to try recompiling using the IRIX malloc to see if that
helps.
