>I am having a problem with backing store in PV-WAVE 3.03 under X windows.
We have the same problem, running under Ultrix V2.1 on DECStation 3100's.
Also, we have a problem with Wave crashing the color terminal and booting off
the user, especially when running the demos.  PV~Wave told ME that the problem
was a bug in ULTRIX -- note that now that I have Ultrix 4.1 running on a
DECStation 5000, I have not seen the crash occur.  I have not tested the backing
store problem exhaustively, so I'm not sure if the solution to our problems is in
the hardware or the operating system change
