Emacs bug(?) report

[Ebner Felix]

Hi,

I am trying to run Emacs version 21.2.1 on HP-UX Itanium plattform. Yes, I know it is an unsupported OS but what happens is so astonishing that I decided to drop you a note anyway. When I issue command:

$ emacs filename
(for example $ emacs foo.txt)

then the only buffers Emacs gives me are messages and scratch. There is no buffer containing foo.txt. Please note that foo.txt is an existing file.

Is this a bug? If not, what is the explanation to this behaviour and how do I get around it?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Felix
