  xterm: This problem only exists on the SPARC running OpenWindows. It works
  fine on the MIT server on either Sun3 or SPARC. The problem is when I
  try to have scroll bars on the xterm window by typing:

  xterm -sb

  Here is the dbx output:

you've got an old (before R3 fix#3) version of xterm.  it had a bug in
its scrollbar widget that tried to set a bogus do_not_propogate mask.
xnews catches this and complains.  apply patch#3 to xterm, or use
the one provided in OpenWindows.
