I am not sure about this bug, but I observe the following behavior
consistently:
When running low on real memory (about 42 meg of virtual used, and 55
megs unused), if I try to parse a block of text highlighted in xterm
into the same xterm (after typing in zwrite...), the xterm
beeps crazily (in my case, visually) for about a minute, and then
stops. The block of text is not copied successfully.
This doesn't happen if I am not running low on memory.
The reason that I am running up that much memory is because I am using
NPCLU (6.035)
