Either of the following code snippets causes trouble on a VAXStation 2000
running "Ultrix-32 version 3.0 rev 64" and "UWS V2.0 System #1" with all
of the X11 supplied from DEC:
----
XSetLineAttributes(dpy,gc,(unsigned int)w,LineSolid,CapButt,JoinMiter);
----or alternatively----
gc_val.line_width = (int)(w);
XChangeGC(dpy,gc,GCLineWidth,gc_val);
----

This same code works fine with the MIT XV11R3 server on Sun3, Sun4, Sparc.
However, when run on the VAXStation it causes the window to flash colors
and then the server hangs for a few minutes before any window responds.

Has anyone else seen this?
