Subject: xlogin spin-dry on VAXen
--text follows this line--
System: movies
6.3B PLX VAX
incrementals all applied
Bug: XLogin
xlogin enters spin dry when outp[utting text to a non-visible
console window.
Repeat by:
1) shrink xlogin console so only titlebar is visible
2) iconify it
3) talk <yourself>
watch the load climb away....
What Should Have Happened:
the console window should not have wedged
xlogin should not be caught in a loop
--hal
How about an alternate console Bill???
