I have DJGPP installed in Windows NT 4.0 SP6a. Emacs 20.5 seems to
simply disappear from the screen frequently if I try to move around by
holding down an arrow key. I have seen this the most with up and left
arrows, but also with down. I have seen it crash when I was at the end
of a line and held down left arrow and it had only gone left about 10
columns before crashing. Up arrow has crashed it numerous times when
it has gone up less than two screens.

I did not find anything in the FAQ about this, and have not seen the
problem on Solaris or other Unix versions of emacs. Has anyone else
experienced this? Any ideas?
