From: John Carr <jfc@MIT.EDU>
System name: w20-575-51.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 8.3.15
Display type: m
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: unknown
What were you trying to do?
Read a MIME format message with a JPEG file attached, using the
MH "show" command.
It may be relevant that my .mh_profile contains these lines:
mhe:
showproc: mhl
It may also be relevant that the "m" display type listed above is a 24 bit m64:
SUNW,m64B0 is /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/SUNW,m64B@2
m64#0: 1280x1024, 4M mappable, rev 4750.7c
What's wrong:
After a few pages of warnings of the form
Warning: ... found while parsing ':<Key>osfDown:PrimitiveTraverseDown()'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfLeft
I got a fatal error:
-requires 8 bit display
exit 255
"ps" run at intervals revealed these processes. The second and third
lines were taken from separate ps listings (notice the PID remains the
same but the shell script apparently "exec"ed another program).
