[comp.windows.x] xmh and HP-UX 7.0

gdmr@lfcs.edinburgh.ac.UK (02/12/91)

We're having a problem with xmh on our HP kit.  Instead of running the MH
commands it generates lots of output of the form:

Warning: couldn't inquire bytes in pipe; errno = 25 Not a typewriter
Warning: couldn't inquire bytes in pipe; errno = 25 Not a typewriter
Warning: couldn't inquire bytes in pipe; errno = 25 Not a typewriter

which seems to come from a FIONREAD ioctl on a pipe.  Does anyone have a patch
for this?  Or is it a configuration problem?  Or should we wait for R5?  Any
input gratefully received.
