System name:		m1-142-9
Type and version:	SPARC/4 8.0K
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Display a DVI file produced by LaTeX

What's wrong:
	xdvi exits with "Socket I/O possible" error message.  The
	exact point at which it crashes with the message seems to be
	random, but it always happens pretty quickly.  It did this
	repeatedly in about a dozen tests, once getting as far as
	opening the display window, but usually crashing almost
	immediately after starting.

	Once, I also saw "Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7d2e)!"
	on the console window.

What should have happened:
	xdvi should have displayed the document in question.
