[comp.sys.sun] Common Lisp/FORTRAN GKS bug/feature

markb@boulder.colorado.edu (Mark G. Brown) (03/11/90)

On a Sun3/60 running SunOS3.5 and Sun Common Lisp, Development Environment
3.0.2, 2 August 1988 one of our users reported the following problem:

1) he starts suntools 
2) he runs lisp in a local window
3) from lisp, he executes a FORTRAN/GKS program

The first time it seems to work fine.

After exiting the fortran program to make some changes in lisp, he
receives a "can't open pixwin" message and the FORTRAN program crashes.

Then he exits lisp and exits suntools.

At that point (at his normal c-shell prompt) the machine seems to hang and
refuses keyboard input, even after killing the shell and re-starting the
getty.

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
