Most interesting.
I see from the other stuff that sendbug puts in that you're on a Vax3100
with an SG display. That's the color display, right?
I presume that you've successfully run EZ elsewhere.
I fear that the problem is with the X server. EZ generally uses more of
the functionality of the X server than most vendors bother to test. I
used to fix X servers for EZ, but I had to give it up. I became too
unpleasant a person to deal with.
Perhaps we can talk someone into instrumenting EZ and the X server. It
would be a good idea for us to know which command to the X server killed
it.
Question: Does this happen EVERY time you try to run EZ?
