Background:  Sun 3's running SunOS 3.0, using X.V10R4 with assorted
	     bug fixes to the server from prang.berkeley.edu

Problem:     Every once in a while, you'll log in to the Sun, start
	     up X (using Ed Moy's modified xinit, which reads ~/.xinit
	     and starts tools for you in a separate process group),
	     work for a while, and exit from X.  When you exit, you find 
	     that your login shell has been killed and you're talking to 
	     a getty on your console, which is asking you to log in.  

It's almost as though when Ed's xinit tries to kill the processes it
started, it ends up propogating the kill to the login shell, except that I
can't find anyplace this seems to be happening.  Has anyone else seen this
happen?  Anyone know what to do to stop it?
