[comp.unix.internals] System crashes, beware

I thought I would inform users of BSD systems (I know that on DEC's 3100
and Sun Workstations this is a problem, and I ASSUME others as well).

Any system running X-windows R11.4 or less I think there is a major
problem if a user uses xdb and makes socket calls. The SELECT call
may be the source of the problem.  Anyways my classmates and I for
Computer Networks brought the Universties Main machine and workstations
to a screeching halt using xdb and sockets.  Just be aware that there is
a BUG somewhere there, and will cause the system to completely crash!!
