I just noticed this bug a few days before you reported it, and I'd
never seen it before, so I assumed it was a 7.6 bug. But apparently it
is not a bug caused by the new release. It happens on 7.6 Vaxen as
well as 7.4 DECstations, and, I expect, everything else. It appears
that neither the techinfo server nor the client has changed either. In
short, nothing we can find that could introduce this problem has
changed. Since it doesn't have a cause, I must conclude it doesn't
actually exist, but is a product of our deranged imaginations.
Nevertheless, Scott is working on fixing it.
