I've been happily running 17.64 for some time under X windows on a
Sun-3. I recently tried to bring up 18.33, but had problems with the X
window support. Regular terminals do work, as does xemacs -nw. Under
the window system, however, the program hangs in select() soon after
it starts. No window is opened. If anyone has encountered and fixed
this problem I'd appreciate their help.
Other relevant(?) facts:
The stack trace when the hang is interrupted is:

The select seems to happen before the X window is mapped (breakpoint
in XMapWindow never reached).
This is a fresh compilation: I have set only the paths in path.h,
specified s-bsd4-2.h & m-sun3.h in config.h and #define'd
HAVE_X_WINDOWS. The ~/.emacs file has been temporarily renamed so
that this emacs invocation sees no initialization.
The Sun is a 3/75 running 3.0.

decwrl!glacier!conor 1,$s/^\([^,]*\), *\(.*\)/\2 \1/
conor@su-glacier.arpa although hard to read, does the job.
