I've got a number of 3/60's, running 4.1.1.  Under 4.0.3, they were able
to run the xnews server (ie., "OpenWindows") on both the color and the
overlay planes with

  openwin -dev /dev/cgfour0 -dev /dev/bwtwo1

Twm would recognize both planes, and one could move between them by moving
the cursor off the edge, as expected.  Lo and behold, under 4.1.1 the same
commandline generates

  WIN ioctl number 80706728: Device busy
  Couldn't get base SunWindow
  giving up.
  /usr/bin/X11/xinit:  Connection refused (errno 61):  unable to connect   \
								 to X server

Any ideas?  MIT X11R4pl18 continues to do the right thing on these
machines.  Sun has been less than helpful about the problem.
