Hi-
	I'm POSIX-ifying SunOS 4.1 and in the process have run into a few
    bugs in X11R3 (I hate sunview so I drag around an X tape).  I need to
    know where to send them and when they'll be fixed.  The fix date is 
    medium important - other wise we have things like 

                if (vp == sp->s_vp  &&  !(sp->s_flags & SESS_NOTTY)) {
                        if (write_access(stp, 0) == 0)
                                return;
                }
                else {
                        /*
                         * kludge for X windows.  X (display manager) does
                         * ioctl's on these guys and shouldn't be.
                         */
                        register dev_t dev = major(vp->v_rdev);
                        if (dev != MOUSE  &&  dev != KBD) {
                                u.u_error = ENOTTY;
                                return;
                        }
                }
    
    in the kernel.  This particular one is because X does 
    ioctl( , TIOCSPGRP, &arg) on the keyboard and mouse.  Or
    at least that seems to be what's happening.
