[comp.windows.x] Annoying error in X11R4 - Select failed

brian@ditmela.oz (Brian May) (02/28/90)

This is a repost, as the other one didn't make it to this group.

I have a problem which occurs at random intervals when using
X11R4 & twm.

The message "Warning: Select failed; error code 22"
continually appears in the console, thus swamping the processor.

If I quit twm & X using the menu 'quit twm' option, I don't
regain control of the keyboard & screen - it just hangs there &
the only way to recover is to rlogin & kill -9.

Below is a copy of my xinitrc & the setup here.  I will be 
grateful for any help in solving this nasty.

------------------------
host=`hostname`
Xbin=/usr/local/bin/X11
server=manta
xtermdef="-sl 500 -sb +si -ah"
xterm -g 80x24-0+120 $xtermdef -T "${host} CONSOLE" -C &
sleep 1
display=${host}:0
xhost +$server
#xrdb -load $HOME/.Xres
#xsetroot -solid grey
xclock -g 100x100-0+0  -update 1 &
xload -g 50x100-105+0 &
$server -n $Xbin/xload -g 50x100-160+0 -display $display &
xbiff -g 50x50-215+0 -update 10 -volume 100 &

$server -n $Xbin/xterm -g 80x67+0+0 $xtermdef -ls -T $server -display $display &

My machine: Sun 3/60 sunning SunOs 4.0.3	(colour screen)
Server:	SPARC station 370 running SunOS 4.0.3

(this also happens on a monochrome sun3/60)


thanks in advance,
