I have a bug in NeWS that i thought i might warn you all about.  It seems
that if a NeWS connection dies when it has an overlay canvas that has
something written in it, the server dies.

To show this try the following (in psh or as appropriate) :
 
framebuffer createoverlay setcanvas
0 0 moveto 0 400 lineto 400 400 lineto 400 0 lineto closepath fill
%erasepage
quit

If the erasepage is uncommented, things seem fine.

This is most annoying when something that you are trying to debug writes
in the overlay canvas then dies - everything dies!
