[comp.windows.news] window locks breaking and SunOS 4.0 NeWS

benoni@ssc-vax.UUCP (Charles L Ditzel) (10/31/88)

1) I am running NeWS on SunOS 4.0 and am looking for people that have
done the same. The performance seems to be almost as bad as 
X :-), any clues why ? (and yes, i have : define(LOGHOST,1) in
syslog.conf). I would appreciate any hints as to how improve things
under 4.0.

2) I keep getting :
	Window lock broken after time limit exceeded by pid XXX
where 187 obviously varies...does anyone have a clue as to why
NeWS is complaining?

3) Finally, is Sun going to come out with a NeWS 1.1 recompilation
to take advantage of 4.0 ?

		Thanks in advance

I have been getting that, too, on a 3/260, OS 4.0 running *Suntools*,
and would also like to see any explaination for it.  Sun didn't give a
very satisfactory response.  Basically, some programs don't work under
OS 4.0 yet.
