[comp.windows.x] R3 xterm is socket type sensitive on 4.2 BSD

lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk (Lee McLoughlin) (11/24/88)

VERSION:
    X.V11R3

CLIENT MACHINE and OPERATING SYSTEM:
    HLH Orion 1/05 running 4.2 BSD

DISPLAY:
    StarPoint monochrome.

AREA:
    xterm

DESCRIPTION:
    Using the unix domain socket (DISPLAY=unix:0.0) in an xterm with
    jump-scroll enabled will cause the xterm to terminate with an error of:
	xterm: Invalid argument
    Forcing it to use the tcp socket (DISPLAY=oriona:0.0) and it seems ok.

I'd guess that the problem is in the main X library, lib/X/XlibInt.c, not
handling some weird condition that only occurs with unix domain sockets.

Any help for a more permanent fix, as opposed to changing the DISPLAY
setting, would be warmly received.
