>Description:
		I had problems running X in the past, and determined
		that MULTICAST was causing my problems.  I assumed that
		it was something that I was missing (and may still be).
		I unfortunately have no use for MULTICAST.  Now that
		MULTICAST is not an option, I am having the same
		behavior.  X never draws the stipple background, and
		exits with the following error.

xinit:  Resource temporarily unavailable (errno 35):  unexpected signal 2

waiting for X server to shut down ..........

xinit:  X server slow to shut down, sending KILL signal.

		I have tried this with both pccons, and pcvt consoles.

>How-To-Repeat:
		define MULTICAST for older kernels, or run X with newer
		sources.

>Fix:
		not presently known.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:

running.
