System name:		e40-302-4
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.3H
Display type:		SM

What were you trying to do?
  Look at Xinfo's help on Xinfo itself.  I invoked Xinfo from Dash.

What's wrong:
  After invoking help on Xinfo, the program died.
  The console error message was:
       /usr/athena/bin/xinfo: 580 Memory fault
  Dash popped up a window about the error too.  If memory serves
  correctly, it was just telling me that the exit status was -1.

What should have happened:
  I haven't used the help section before, but I assume some kind of
  help information should have appeared.  Definitely the program
  should not have died.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
