The problem is that the FIONREAD ioctl call is broken when
applied to pipes when running HP-UX 7.0 on S300 systems.
I have added a workaround to the xmh code that *mostly* fixes
the problem. You will get xmh dialog boxes popping up now and
then with obscure messages from the underlying mh utilities;
but I have been sucessful at ignoring these :-) I have not had
the cycles to go back and ferret out the reason the underlying
utilities have things to say.
If you prefer a compiled version, I have placed a compressed
executable file on hpcvaaz (15.255.72.15) that is accessable to
anyone on the Internet. You can get the file via anonymous
ftp in:
./pub/MitX11R4/xmh.3.7.0.Z
