	This is interesting.  I've been experiencing weird things like
	this myself.  It seems to be related with our upgrading to SunOS 4.1.
	In addition, apps built with devGUIDE (and compiled with 4.1) seem
	to crap out looking for a file in a "/Proto" directory (while
	sleuthing around with trace).

	Maybe this is an Xview problem rather than a devGUIDE problem?
