I am trying to isolate under what circumstances, that when I 'exit' from edge debugger, it kills the graphics subsystem in such a way that /etc/gl/restartgl will not restart it. It becomes necessary to reboot because the monitor keeps 'winking out'. Of cousrse, exiting from edge does not always kill the graphics. Is there anything that one should NOT do while using edge?

Another thing to be wary of when using edge is that winopen("..")
does a fork(). When using edge, it is worthwhile to add a call to
foreground() (on the line before winopen) t your code.
You can also select the other process from the top window of edge.
Make sure that you set a breakpoint after the winopen line otherwise
it will be finished (or crashed) before you get to seect it.
BTW, for us, edge being unable to debug programs with sharable libraries
is a *major* pain in the neck. (We have a mixture of models and only
the server has the development environment -- our users have a rlogin window
to the server for compiling their code, another wsh running locally)
Is this likely to be addressed?
