[comp.sys.mips] "Alarm clock" from Xfig

rao@enuxha.eas.asu.edu (Arun Rao) (09/12/89)

	I saw a posting last week (or earlier ?) about someone who
	kept getting an "Alarm Clock" message while entering text
	into Xfig on his Mips machine.

	Did anyone post a fix for this bug ? We have exactly the
	same problem with our Ardent Titan. The funny thing is
	that the message persists even after Xfig has aborted -
	even the 'ls' command will yield "Alarm clock" a few
	times.

	What *does* the message mean, anyway ?

	Thanks in advance.

	-Arun
