We are experiencing problems with the R4 xdm compiled on
Sparcstation running SunOS 4.1.1.

We have some NCD 17c X terminals attached, and sometimes
get the following problems:

1. The terminal sometimes does not manage to load the 
   fonts that have been configured into xdm, even though
   we know for sure that they are there (because normally,
   they DO work). 

2. More seriously, it has been observed that xdm seems to
   decide its time to restart a login sequence on a terminal
   when the user is mid way through a session. When this
   happens, you might get 'Password:' appearing out of the
   blue in a window, and your keyboard mappings seem to get
   messed up (at least when you're running emacs in an
   xterm). Then, after about a minute you get 'Login timed
   out after 60 seconds' in the window, and then things
   seem to get back to normal.

Any ideas anyone ?

All help gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.
