(While the following problem occurred when I was debugging some
changes I tried to make to twm, I think the problem might be
more general -- basically, debugging any window manager)


I made some changes to twm and tried debugging using both
"dbx" and "saber" and ran into the following problem: basically,
either twm would hang in "select.o" or would hang the server.

Do I need to do something special to use dbx or saber with twm
or should it have worked fine (like any other program)?

Thanks for any help.
