This is a bug in the Xdomain server.  I've talked with HP/Apollo, and 
they have verified that this is a problem on all 68000-based machines.
If anyone does figure out a work-around, PLEASE post it to the net.

Mild FLAME:  I generally don't like to complain about HP/Apollo's 
	     testing department, but how could they miss something
	     like this?  We noticed this problem almost immediately.
	     I realize they have to test software on a large number
	     of different machines, but to miss something like this
	     on EVERY machine is inexcusable.

One other note:  the Xdomain server has a serious problem on DN2500s.
The server is incompatible with the pd91_m0256 patch, which is the
fix for the DN2500's timer interrupt problem.  The only way you can
run the Xdomain server is to run an X-only environment.  The server
won't even start when DM is running.  

Does anyone know if there is a later PSK/Patch tape that might have 
integrated the patch with the Xdomain update?
