This is a problem undoubtedly specific to Suns, probably only Sun-4s.  It's not
even X's fault that I can tell.  However, when I run 'xinit', occasionally I
get 'Watchdog Reset', and then a '>' prompt, meaning Unix has been crashed.
The only recourse is to type 'b' (for boot), and wait while the machine
reboots.

This is on a Sun-4/110 running SunOS-4.0 (not 4.0.1).  Has anyone else seen
this, X or otherwise?  It seems to happen on all sorts of programs and is
very annoying!
