System name:		cogsworth
Type and version:	SPARC/5 8.1.7 (with mkserv)
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
use zwgc normally

What's wrong:
lately, every time I log in my zwgc process works ok for a little
while and then freezes up. I have to kill it and restart zwgc,
after which it works fine until I logout. 

This has been happenning for about 2 weeks.

What should have happened:
It should not have locked up.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I attached to the running zwgc process using gdb and got the following:
