L.S.,

We have had serious problems with a program called nlock. This
is a lockscreen program that displays a figure walking around
and stating some smart quotations.

Howver this program crashes the Sparc 2. The system cannot even
be booted using L1-a, but it has to be turned off.

Problems with other machine types (e.g. SLC) seem to be not as bad,
but it could be possible that Open Windows crashes.

						Regards,

						Ed.
