I am posting this for someone, however he does read
comp.windows.open-look newsgroup.

---------------------------forwarded message----------------------------

There seems to be a problem with our X/NeWS server. Clients like
cmdtools and xterms disappear sometimes when they are closed. The
problem is not repeatable, i.e. I don't know when it will disappear.
It happens under both vtwm and olwm window managers, so I suppose it's
the problem of the server. Even though the clients disappear, the
processes are still present in the process table. We are running SunOS
4.1 with OpenWindow 2.0 on 4/110 & 4/60.

Does anybody have the same problem? Any suggestions to the cause? 

Thanks in advance.

Delman Lee.
