Solved the problem with emacs flaking out. The default values for $HOME
and $home set up in the default .login file were wrong. Commented out
the lines that set them and hardcoded the correct location. Pretty
irritating that this emacs (21.2-13) can't deal with this though. I've
never had this problem with any emacs I've used before. Should be able
to say ^x^w and correct the pathname rather than being unable to
continue working and unable to do anything to save one's work. Is one
of the other options more robust?
