We have seen X11R5 wedge under both SunOS and BSD; this sounds like
something identical. If you kill the server, everything is OK, so
it seems like a bug in the server---except that when we traced this
under SunOS it appeared to be a kernel bug (but then why did it
persist under BSD?).
Don't second guess, there are parts the Sunos kernel which have
routines set up specifically to get around an OpenWindows bug. Nasty!
:-) 'adb' is real handy, if I do say so myself...
