I have noticed a problem with awm for a while, wherein it will occasionally
go into an infinite loop pounding on the server.  This usually happens after
either iconifying or deiconifying a window (with f.iconify bound to either a
mouse button or a title bar gadget), and it goes away as soon as a mouse
button is pressed on the root window.  It is the sort of thing I usually 
notice after wondering for a while why my make is going so slow...

I am about to tear into the code and try to fix this one myself, but I thought
I would ask first and see if anybody has already done it.  Is there anybody
out there who can save me some work?

Oh, yeah...the details: X11.3, Sun 3 and 4, gcc.
