[comp.windows.x] AWM: "Out of buffer space"

jsol@bu-cs.BU.EDU (Jon Solomon) (08/14/88)

I just unpacked the new release of awm (from comp.sources.x), and
compiled it. One of my co-workers offered to be guinea pig and ran
it on his job. The console window started printing "out of buffer space"
messages over and over.

He apparently gets them often even with the old awm, but the new awm is
generating them much earlier than the old awm did.

My hunch is that "out of buffer space" is being generated by the Xsun
server, not from awm. One thing we did not try was to reboot the system
and run the new awm, we just killed the old awm and started the new one.

Has anyone else seen this?
