I reproduced it on the SIPB sunblade with proe. By putting
/mit/tibbetts/bin/machtype early in my path (included at the end) I
tricked proe2000i2 into starting. It got through the spash screen, and
put up the second window, but killed the X server (or logged me out
instantaneously some other way) just as the second windows was being
drawn.
include /mit/tibbetts/bin/machtype:
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
-d) echo ffb;;
*) exec /bin/athena/machtype $@;;
esac
