We are running the December '88 release on a bunch of 6150s here at Princeton,
and are having very few problems with X11R3.  We do have some complaints about
the apa16 driver and diagonal solid lines, but it seems pretty fairly stable
to us.  As far as the compilers generating bad code is concerned, I believe
that hc was used for the entire X11R3 distribution (maybe that explains the
diagonal line problems, I'll have to look into that :-).  I have also built
the NYSERNet SNMP applications without any problems.  Perhaps we just haven't
tickled the compiler problems that you had.
