I can repeatedly cause Mosaic to die with this error:

Unfortunately, no core file is generated -- the program just hangs, and
I have to kill it manually.
To reproduce this error, I:
1) Start Mosaic on a Decstation (running on a 5000/200, DISPLAY
set to a different 5000/200)
2) Resize the window as soon as I get it, to be wider.
3) As soon as the SIPB page comes up, type "o"
4) Watch as Mosaic spews.
