Summary: Other experience wanted.

I have just installed X11R2 on a Sun 3/160C.  The first thing I did was
to exercise Xterm, in particular, requesting a scrollbar from the modes
menu.  What actually happens is that I get dumped out of X.  Has anyone
else noticed this behavior?

I saw a mention some time ago of a reported optimizer problem with X11
under SunOS, but the poster didn't give details.  Or is this just the
usual problem of portable vax code :-)   (Just a joke!  I swear!)

When the problem is localized better, I'll forward a bug report to MIT.
