System name:		auditorium
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.4H
Display type:		PMAG-JA 


NOTE that this bug has occurred on Suns, as well.  Also note that auditorium
is using a different monitor than the normal Maxines...


What were you trying to do?
	run a program or display a file that often contains text in boldface
	(using the vt100 code ESC [ 5 m to activate and ESC [ m to deactivate.)

What's wrong:
	Often, when viewing the file in an xterm, the first column does NOT
	appear in boldface.  This behavior seems to be sporadic.

What should have happened:
	Viewing the file in emacs shows that the characters should, indeed,
	be bold.  

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
