I'm fairly convinced that there is a signal-handling bug in
session_gate on rsaix and sun4 platforms. The symptoms are that the
user types "logout" as usual, and the "Xsession returned non-zero
status" message shows up because session_gate dies in an unexpected
manner. Unfortunately, this is not a completely reproducible bug, as
I can never get it to repeat when I want it to. I suspect that there
are some problems with signal handling, since this problem has never
appeared on the decmips machines.
