Hi,
I'm sorry that you have encountered the DPS/X error bug. We have seen
this before here and believe that it is a bug in the interaction between
Frame and Solaris 2.3. I'll include the information I have on dealing
with this bug and apologize for not having a better answer. I am also
hoping that this bug will be fixed either by upgrading to Frame 5 or to
Solaris 2.4, or both.
Please let me know if you have any questions about these suggestions.

We have come up with the following work-around which may help:
The workaround is to run a program which will initialize the Solaris DPS
extension. If you create a file called something like "fix_dps" and put
these lines into it:
*****************
#!/bin/csh -f
dpsexec -noexec << EOF
quit
EOF
*****************
(Do not include the lines with *'s!) Then you can type the command
csh fix_dps
before starting frame and fix the problem. You should see a window pop
up on the screen when you run this command.
