------------------------------------------------------------------------
A brief synopsis of the problem: xmh hung.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please describe the problem in detail (mention any necessary files or
commands that may be involved, on which machine the bug happened, and what
the program did that was wrong): 

Running xmh on my own workstation (VS2) updated to 6.2, I OPENed
FOLDER IN NEW WINDOW, did a couple of PICKs, and then had both windows
on the inbox folder. When I clicked on the ALL sequence button and
then the OPEN SEQUENCE button, the second window switched to the ALL
sequence as well.  When I did a PICK from the first window based on
who sent the e-mail, My load went up to 2 and stayed there and the two
xmh windows froze.  WHen the screen saver went on and then off, the
xmh windows had no labels or texts.


------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat by (please enter a set of commands which will allow us to 
repeat the bug):xmh&,  OPEN FOLDER IN NEW WINDOW, PICK



------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix (if you know what it is):
