I just built PL6 on a Sun 3/80 running 4.0.3+acadpatch+jumbopatch, and messages
is acting screwy.  Specifically, Messages (and Sendmessage) are displaying
text (and lines, for that matter) with periodic dropouts -- the scrollbar,
for example, looks like it's made out of dashed lines, and several dots
are missing from each character.

Has anyone else seen this or have ideas?  It worked fine under PL5 (but the
PL5 messages complains about some "lpair" problem and dumps core when I try
to run it inside the PL6 environment).  I've had to revert to PL5 for the
time being.
