I am running X11R4 from Apple, with Motif 1.0 from Integrated Computer Solutions, with A/UX 2.0. The hardware platforms are MacII, MacIIx, and MacIIfx, with the Apple EtherTalk NB card. I wrote a few applications using Motif as a widget set. The applications start up OK then the system hangs up, for a couple of minutes, I lose all input capabilities, (keyboard, mouse, ethernet - I can not ping, etc.) and output (the windows do not get updated ,etc), everything freezes up. When it returns, xload shows a very high CPU usage. (Three horizontal lines). A few minutes later the cycle is repeated. It seems to me that the system hangs up when the mouse crosses a widget boundary, (I guess that is when an event is generated, since none of my widgets need mouse motion events). But this could be a figment of my imagination. I can not work on those machines because they keep hanging up every few minutes, and I can not do anything when they hang up, to find the problem. Has anybody seen this problem. Note that the same source code is compiled on a Sun 3/260 with X and Motif from OSF, and runs without any problems. Please use the address below to reply by e-mail.
