]GNU C version.

Also built X11R4 with gcc and am using tcsh... no such problem here.  I got
the tcsh binary from anise.acc.com.  I have built gcc myself but it seems
to have some bugs.

]X11R3 but it hangs with X11R4.

Assuming the initial window is called "console", this works for me.
	xkill -id `xlswins | grep console | tr -s " " | cut -f2 -d" "`

]I execute X windows using the command exec X -screen0 -depth 8. That worked

]I get the message login incorrect after typing in any login name. I don't

Are you running xdm? or do you have init start the server?  How is it that
exiting from X logs you off?
Also, make sure your X11R4 script calls Xrepair when it is done.

]Note: If you build X11R4 with GreenHills C the code generated for 
]server/ddx/mfb/mfbcmap.c is wrong. Thanks to Steve Green for pointing this out
]to me. It saved me much grief.

BTW: That Greenhills compiler is version 1.8.2h
