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???
