The following operation causes the X11/News server provided with OW2.0 to die:

1. Start an application
2. Move its window
3. Sever the connection between the app and the server (under twm, this is
   done with 'f.destroy')

My configuration: Sun Sparcstation-1, SunOS 4.03, GX-1 board (with GFX
patch applied to the OS), OpenWindows 2.0 with X11/News server active, twm
window manager.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?  Any workarounds (aside from not
using f.destroy :-) ?  Any help would be appreciated,
