	Hello hello,

	I have a real pain in the ass problem and we can't seem to track it down.
	Here's how it goes, you can be reading your mail and when you try to hit 
	return at the '?' prompt to go to the next message, an stty error occurs.
	It usually comes back with "stty : : Not A Terminal", and mail proceeds
	as if nothing ever happened.  This happens all the time, and seems to
	randomly.  And on some basic utilities, these errors will cause the
	program to crash.  Another one is when ever you start up a X client
	it usually comes back with "stty : : Can't assign requested address". 
	This one always occurs when your trying to run a remote X client on 
	another machine, and not always when you do it locally.  And there
	are a couple of others too, but I forgot.  It only happens when 
	your logged in on the console and running X.

	We are running HP-UX 6.5 with X11R3.  I looked in the man pages
	under stty and ioctl(2) and found nothing.  Does anyone have
	any clue.

	Thanks alot,
	greg
