Re: `print' does not print

`works' in my message was referring only to the printing problem.

The printing runtime problem goes away on 6.5.9 and 6.5.15 if I dump
on 6.5.15.  What is left to check is whether it also goes away if one
would apply the SGI patch for the runtime environment of 6.5.9 and
dump there.  But since the machine running 6.5.9 is critical for our
daily operation, I'll have to wait for the upcoming holidays to
patch/upgrade.  If time permits, I will check whether the patches
solve the problem too.

I don't get core dumps in any cases during build or dump.

emacs 21.1, using gcc 2.95.3:
- Compiled and dumped on 6.5.15: prints.
- compiled on 6.5.9, dumped on 6.5.15: prints.
- compiled on 6.5.15, dumped on 6.5.9: prints.
- Compiled and dumped on 6.5.9: prints.
