[Pardon me for posting; Steinmetz sent me a nastygram saying there is no such
user as zirin, so I couldn't reply to Bob directly]

I suspect you should have changed (1024 * 3) to (1024 * 10) not simply to 10.
Which release notes are you referring to?  Ultrix 2.2, 2.3 or X11.3?  I have not
seen the note in question, and am interested.  Someone at DEC mailed me a new
qd.o to fix the problem with the server reset hanging the workstation, but this
change is new to me.  I will try the 10K buffer to see if it changes anything.
