WHAT'S WRONG

	I deiconifyed my xmh, found it unresponsive, and
	did a ps to see if anything was up:

	thames% ps x
	  PID TT STAT  TIME COMMAND
	  880 co I     0:04 /usr/bin/dxsession :0
	 1656 co S     0:07 /usr/local/bin/mwm
	 1666 co S     0:24 xterm -geometry 80x52+15+0
	 1668 co S     0:52 xterm -geometry 80x57-15+15
	 1669 co R N  73:01 xmh
	 2354 ?  IW    0:00 zwgc
	 2261 p0 IW    0:00 -csh (tcsh)

	and so it would appear that we have achieved
	tight-loop-edness.  I did a ``kill -4'', but
	no coredump resulted (?).

SETTING

	PMAX + Ultrix 3.1
	X11R4 xmh in /usr/local/bin/xmh

REPEAT BY

	Unknown

DISCUSSION

	Only such case to my knowledge.  File service problems
	can be ruled out.  The lack of a coredump after a SIGILL
	is a bit odd.
