System name:		hodge
Type and version:	KN01 7.3P (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?
	rlogin to PODGE.MIT.EDU

What's wrong:
	PODGE is running 7.4, and appears to have a bug.  Instead of
displaying the message:

zwgc: Unable to open X display -- disabling X driver.
zwgc: To receive Zephyrgrams, (type `/usr/athena/bin/zwgc -ttymode').

it runs a zwgc with a DISPLAY :0.0
This causes zephyrs to pop up on the idle login screen, which shouldn't
be happening.  This *DOES NOT* occur on 7.3 machines.  This bug is 
reproducable.

What should have happened:
	It should have displayed the warning message and not run a zwgc.
(CERTAINLY not on :0.0)

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
