I am very happy with Emacs 19.34 running on DOS 6.22, with one exception.
about 1 time in ten, when I exit from Emacs (^X^C), I get a command prompt,
but then the machine is totally dead.  ctl-alt-delete won't even revive it,
and I have to power cycle.  The problem seems to happen more often after
running Ghostscript or CLISP.

I have 16M of extended memory, and allocate about 4M for smartdrv.  

I would guess that some program or other isn't cleaning up after itself
after allocating memory, and things get corrupted.

Any ideas?
