Yes. I've a DECStation 3100 running UWS 2.0. Under one window
manager, the server crashes every time I resize a window. I've
traced it down to a particular XConfigureWindow call, but I can't
find anything wrong on the window manager's side. It works fine
on other machines, and it's definitely not a hardware problem with
the DEC.  I'm hoping UWS 2.1 will fix this. -sigh-
