I have seen the same problem here on a DECstation 3100 running 3.1/2.1, 3.1/2.2,
and 3.1d/2.2d.  I have emacs-18.55 compiled instead of the unsupported emacs
that DEC supplies, and it's compiled with the X-windowing support.  It doesn't
always happen, but it happens enough to annoy the owner/user of the 3100
(especially since she is a heavy emacs user).
