The VMS code of emacs very likely is not used very often and therefore
may not be in the same good shape as the other emacs code. Anyway, there
was a stack corruption. Compiled with /debug and /noopt the problem
doesn't show.

A workaround may be to compile one module, DIRED, with /noopt. Yes, I
know, this makes EMACS even slower :-) To really fix the problem one
would need to analyze and understand the corruption. So far I didn't
spend the time.

Anybody wants to try the workaround, anyway?
