sekullbe tried to log out of this sun, and nothing happened.  Here's a
full list of all the processes he's running (standard dotfiles):

~/tmp> ps axlww | grep 3066
 8  3066  1556  1535 80  49 20  278  250          R pts/0     0:06 tcsh
 8  3066  1548     1 34  60 20  558  253 pollwait S ?         0:00 xscreensaver -geometry 72x72-305+0
 8  3066  1519     1 80  60 20  601  359 pollwait S ?         0:54 /afs/athena/project/windowmanagers/sun4bin/vtwm.gamma
 8  3066  1535     1 80  60 20  606  484 pollwait S ?         0:05 xterm -geometry 82x56-0-0
 8  3066  1758  1556 18  49 20  165  137          O pts/0     0:00 /usr/ucb/ps axlww

there's no session gate.  Here's a few more proc entries:

 8     0  1013     1160  60 20  251  128 pty_soft S ?         0:00 /etc/athena/dm /etc/athena/login/config ttyp0 console
 8     1  1558  1013 45  60 20  314  227 pollwait S ?         0:00 /etc/athena/console -f /etc/athena/login/Console -display :0.0 -inputfd 3
 8     0  1014  1013 80  60 20 1674  987 pollwait S ?         3:46 X -fp /etc/athena/login/fonts/75dpi,/usr/openwin/lib/fonts :0 -nobanner

Those are the *only* children of dm.  Note that there is no xlogin
running.  when xlogin dies, dm should reset the X server.  It's not.

Possible evidence: I also noticed that there were a few defunct children
of zwgc, which were presumable zmailnotify's which zwgc didn't clean up
after.  Since I know this isn't a "normal" failure mode, we have two
processes not handling SIGCHLD.  Don't know if I can replicate this at all.
