Hi all,

I believe there will be no further patches to the 21.4 branch,
therefore I'm offering no fixes, only reporting two problems I came
across.

I am using Mac OS X, but that's only revenant to 2), I think.

1) M-x gnuserv-start fails silently.  In my case, it was because it
couldn't find the hostname in /etc/hosts.  Running gnuserv in a
terminal displayed the error message I needed to fix the problem.

Workaround: Make sure hostname is present it /etc/hosts.

2) For some reason the emodule loader is broken on OS X 10.10.3.  I
have zero interest in wading through the autohell to figure out why
it's broken.

Workaround: Manually #define HAVE_DYLD and change the source code
(generated file) to use -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup instead of
-shared to link the .ell file.


That's all folks.  Have fun.
