This is a repost, as the other one didn't make it to this group.
I have a problem which occurs at random intervals when using
X11R4 & twm.
The message "Warning: Select failed; error code 22"
continually appears in the console, thus swamping the processor.
If I quit twm & X using the menu 'quit twm' option, I don't
regain control of the keyboard & screen - it just hangs there &
the only way to recover is to rlogin & kill -9.
Below is a copy of my xinitrc & the setup here. I will be
grateful for any help in solving this nasty.
------------------------
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
