Every now and then the server stops responding for a while and gives
me a whole bunch (like a screen full) of these error messages:

	WaitForSomething(): select: errno=22

Usually, this happens just after (within a second) of moving the
mouse. Eventually, the server recovers and all is fine. After a while
though this gets annoying.

	The scene of the crime:
VERSION: 			X11 release 2 (with FIXES 1-33 applied)
CLIENT MACHINE:			SUN-3/60
CLIENT OPERATING SYSTEM:	SUN OS 3.5
DISPLAY: 			CG4 

I dutifully reported this to MIT many months ago, but never got
anything back. Anyway, I seem to remember someone on the net had this
problem and eventually traced it to a SUNOS bug and got a patch from
SUN. 

Is that person still out there?
Does anyone else know anything about this bug?
