Apollo DN3000 running DOMAIN/OS 10.0
DISPLAY:
Apollo 4 plane
WINDOW MANAGER:
uwm

xterm
SYNOPSIS:
xterm freezes and does not accept keyboard input and must be killed due
to a strange interaction with curses (?) or tty settings (?).
DESCRIPTION:
When starting xterm from uwm with an "rlogin" to our local vax (Ultrix
2.2 VAX8800) various programs that diddle with curses cause xterm to
freeze up in such a way that the window must be killed.
REPEAT BY:
% setenv DISPLAY pwp
% xinit uwm
... start a normal xterm ...
x% xterm -bw 4 -bg yellow -bd blue -T iuvax -n iuvax -e rlogin iuvax &
... new window opens on "iuvax" ...
iuvax% moria
... hit ^C and freeze city! (If this doesn't work, move around a
little in the town level) ...
