hello

yesterday i build emacs 19.28 on freebsd 1.1 and found two problems:

- if i start emacs - the system reads the binary from disk (that i can
listen to) and then it waits ~ 5 seconds (top: emacs is sleeping and the
system is 98 % idle at that time) - can anybody tell me where this is coming
from (it's a 386/387DX40) - is it from dynamic linking (because there are ~
8 shared libraries to load) - but if so i think the system should'nt be idle
and it is totally reproducable (the next emacs - the same thing)

- if i start several emacses directly one after another they are all waiting
and if the first one appears (after ~ 5 seconds) on the screen all the
others die (watched with top)

-> both cases i don't know from linux with the samew emacs - is there
anybody who can tell it to me why this is so ?

thomas

p.s.: some minor things - there is a manpage for adduser but no adduser and
there is a ls.so but no manpage for ld.so in freebsd (1.1) may be it's ok in
later versions
