Odd bug in FrameMaker

Okay, it looks like I tickled an odd bug in FrameMaker.

I had just inserted a full-page EPSI file into FrameMaker (it displayed
fine, too).  I then resized FrameMaker wider, at which point it killed
the X server (there were first streaks across the entirety of the
display, horizontally, partially corresponding to the EPSI document and
Frame's border, I guess).

So, if you want to look at

	/mit/wchuang/fmtemplates/Filters/epsi/guild.epsi

you can see the guilty document, and if you want the coredump, it's
sitting in /usr/tmp on momoney.mit.edu (6.5Meg) as frame.core... up
until the time someone decides to remove it.

Machine info:

	momoney% machtype -v -c -d -M
	KN02ca rev 48
	PMAG-DV
	0x1295000 user, 0x1800000 (24 M) total

In other words, a color DECstation 5000/25, 24Megs of RAM, the default
monitor.
