Hello, I am new to the group, so please ignore if this has been discussed before.

I am running X11R4 on a SUN 3/60, with a SPARC station as the server.

At completely random intervals, the followint message is continually displayed in
my console window, which consequently takes all the processors time:

"Warning: Select failed; error code 22"

So, I quit 'twm' via the menu option & I can't have my keyboard back.  The only 
way to regain control is to rlogin and zap the processes.

Can anyone tell me what it is, and how to get rid of it please.  a copy of my 
.xinitrc file is enclosed:

-----------
host=`hostname`
Xbin=/usr/local/bin/X11
server=manta
xtermdef="-sl 500 -sb +si -ah"
xterm -g 80x24-0+120 $xtermdef -T "${host} CONSOLE" -C &
sleep 1
display=${host}:0
xhost +$server
#xrdb -load $HOME/.Xres
#xsetroot -solid grey
xclock -g 100x100-0+0  -update 1 &
xload -g 50x100-105+0 &
$server -n $Xbin/xload -g 50x100-160+0 -display $display &
xbiff -g 50x50-215+0 -update 10 -volume 100 &
#xterm -g 80x67+0+0 $xtermdef -T "${host}"  &
$server -n $Xbin/xterm -g 80x30-0-0 $xtermdef -ls -T $server -display $display &

$server -n $Xbin/xterm -g 80x67+0+0 $xtermdef -ls -T $server -display $display &
xgranite &
twm

-----------

thanks in advance:

Brian May.
