This is a problem undoubtedly specific to Suns, probably only Sun-4s. It's not
even X's fault that I can tell. However, when I run 'xinit', occasionally I
get 'Watchdog Reset', and then a '>' prompt, meaning Unix has been crashed.
The only recourse is to type 'b' (for boot), and wait while the machine
reboots.
This is on a Sun-4/110 running SunOS-4.0 (not 4.0.1). Has anyone else seen
this, X or otherwise? It seems to happen on all sorts of programs and is
very annoying!

Try installing the OS 4.0.1 patches. The bug SHOULD go away. It did for me. The patch is called bus4_110. Good luck. Craig Chase cmc3@nvuxr.bellcore.com
