	Any error messages (PHIGS, X, or otherwise)? Or does it just drop out?
I know I'm developing rather large molecular dynamics code with a Motif/PEX 
workstation on DECstation 5000's using their PHIGS (2.3a I think). The
resulting executable is LARGE to say the least due to the lack of shared
libraries I suppose. Stripped, the code is 6.5 meg. X may be free, but it
sure is expensive! Anyway, if I try to run two distinct copies of the
same program, the machine runs out of swap space/memory/whatever else.
However, I AM able to copy simulations from within the code itself,
and open several workstations without a problem. Might your problem be
memory related (ie, a lack thereof when you try to load more than one
executable into user space)???
