I'm running X version 11 release 4 on a SparcStation (w/cgthree)
running SunOS 4.0.3c.  When I try to fire up "xlock" I get a
"BadValue" error and it aborts.  I've tried to isolate the problem
somewhat and it seems that xlock cannot create a colormap (in
XCreateDynamicColormap).  I've tried things like using the "-mono"
option with no luck (didn't expect it to work either).  The strange
thing seems to be that down the hall a collegue is running the same
code on a Sun 4/330 with a hi-res monochrome display and xlock works
just dandy for him (he's running SunOS 4.0.3c too).

Any and all help appreciated!

Thanks,
