OK.  Thanks for the response anyway.  I may dig into that back trace
and the code a little more, but I'll definitely kick it over to redhat
also.

My personal ubuntu boxes run a more recent version and I don't have
this issue there.

[This is my first foray into emacs after using vim for ~10 years.  So
far, I'm quite happy! :) ]

Thanks!
