Sometimes the xterm we have designated to receive console output doesn't,
which results in, e.g., mail notifications being written to the Sun
sereen directly, making a horrible mess of the display.  We checked that
that window was alive and well and it seemed okay, but when we sent another
mail message, the notification was again displayed on the Sun screen instead
of the xterm.  Can anyone recommend some things to check out next time
it does this?

Running xterm -C in that window.  Using vanilla R4 with fix-1 compiled
with cc -O on a Sun 3/160, SunOS 4.0.3.  twm with the supplied system.twmrc.
