When I create about 16 windows on my microvax, something goes screwy. The screen gets corrupted, and the system crashes shortly, or the system crashes right away, in either case with an error message unrelated to the window manager. Show memory always shows lots of free resources before and after the crash. I'm running microvms 4.4 Does anyone have any similer problems, or is anyone running with lots of windoes?

This sounds very familiar. Did you remember to reinstall VWS after upgrading to VMS v4.4 (and after any memory upgrades you might have performed)? What version of VWS are you running?
