System name:		CALIBAN
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.2R
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
	login and configure the console window.

What's wrong:
	I got the following messages IN my console window:

09:34 show_console: unable to find proper console
09:34 	console cannot have PID 0
09:34 Session initialization completed.

However, the console window *was* configured correctly, to all appearances.

What should have happened:
	No error message.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	man show_console ?

NOTE:  The last two lines of my .startup.X are:

config_console
show_console

and my .Xresources contains the line:

Console*window.geometry:425x75-75+0
