I've been using tvtwm for a few months now, and I've just come across a
nasty bug which freezes up the display; the only way to get out is to
rlogin from another machine and kill the X server (killing tvtwm does
nothing).

To cause this condition,

        a.  Focus any window (I use f.focus from a menu)
        b.  Move the pointer off the left side of the screen
        c.  Push down the right mouse button
            (which in my .tvtwmrc normally pops up a menu,
            but does not pop it when the cursor is off-screen)
        d.  attempt to move the cursor back into the root window
            (although it does not appear) and
        e.  release the mouse button.

I'm using the latest version of tvtwm on a Sun 4 IPC with OS 4.1.
