A couple months ago several people on the bboard posted a complaint about
the page faulting bug on the DECstation 3100.  Process are swapped out and
running (RW) which cases to the machine to go crazy.  I was very impressed
when someone from DEC searched out my phone number and called me to ask
some questions.  I am beginning to wonder what has become of this bug.  My
machine still has to be reboot every couple of days because of it.  Has DEC
reproduced it, debugged it and fixed it yet?  When can we expect a bug fix?

Another totally unrelated question

How long will it be after X11 release four before DECstation owners get a
DECwindows upgrade to X11R4?  Is there an upgrade to Fortran?
