I'm reporting a reoccuring problem with the display on burnham.mit.edu.
This is an SGI Indy at 9-550.  Occassionally, the display will be composed
entirely of thin vertical lines (like every other pixel column was off) so that
the effect is that of a ghosted screen.  This, of course, makes the display 
virtually unreadable for most applications.

Powering off and powering on again does seem to fix the problem, but it eventually
returns.
