I haven't had a single lokup with NetBSD 1.3.3... And the lock can occur
whenever... Open a window, then it locks. Scrolling seems to be ok, I'll
try this thing right now.

I'm running it in three different xterms at the same time right now.

Just waiting for them to finish... *sigh* it takes time... oh... very much
pkgsrc there... well, scrolling and text output seems to be no problem.
No, I'm not running as root either... hmm..

WMaker 0.51? Worked ok before upgrade anyway.

15 minutes of scrolling, I give up now. That can't possibly be the problem
for me.
