I reported the bug and got a reply; sorry I didn't get back to you, but
I just looked into it. It seems that wafe applications written in perl
use their own application resource files, one of which is
/mit/sipb/lib/wafe/system.waferc. This file contains the line
$defaultResources .= " *foreground black *shadowWidth 0";
which causes the black on black effect if -rv is used. Removing the
*foreground black from the string should fix the problem.
Also, currently the symlinks in /mit/sipb/decmipsbin for wafe* point to
../sun4bin/wafe*, which do not exist.
