If you have the following resource set in your resource database, R3 xterm
will not work with an R4 server (color Sun4/110, color or b/w screen):

XTerm*scrollBar:		on

Here's the error:

X Protocol error:  BadValue, integer parameter out of range for operation
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x20030
  Serial number of failed request:  61
  Current serial number in output stream:  62

The same effect can be obtained by calling the R3 xterm with the -sb
option.

Any idea why?  What other clients will this affect?  Anything I can do
about this for the duration while we still have some R3 stuff around?
