We've got 2 vt100 bugs for OS 10.2. These occur on 3000's and 3500's.

1. vt100 will come back with "cannot create vt100 window" as a message.
This message is the same as if you tried to execute vt100 from a 
window in which you have crp'd onto a node. When the node in question
was rebooted, vt100 proceeded to work normally for a day - then the 
same problem reappeared.

2. vt100 will appear to work, but the cursor appears over the $ prompt.
Nothing can be typed into the vt100 window - dm claims that it is read-only.

Has anyone else had similar problems ? Does anyone have a work-around solution ?
