Interesting!  I had the same problem the first time I brought up V11R2
on some Suns running SunOS 3.2 here.  It turned out the problem was due to
two different factors.  I'd forgotten to change a couple of things in 
server/include/site.h -- fixing the include file and recompiling allowed 
things to get further, but some clients were still broken (draw all-black 
or all-white windows).  So, remembering the infamous Patch 68 fiasco from
V11R1, I went and recompiled everything on a SunOS 3.4 machine (isn't NFS
wonderful?) and Lo! and Behold! everything worked like a charm.
