Yes, this is it:  I run 386bsd 0.1 + patchkit, so does a coworker.  I grabbed
the fix Nate is talking about, hand-merged the new copyout() and copyin()
into my locore.s, and that seemed to fix the problem.  As a further test,
I gave the new locore.s to my coworker, who had noticed the problem with
emacs-19, and, sure enough, the new kernel did not have the problem.
