When running emacs 18.57 on an X display (MIT X11R4.18 on
a Sun, SunOS 4.1.1), I keep getting into a mode where the
emacs starts drawing a hollow cursor (the same cursor you
see when the input focus is not on the emacs window.)  It
doesn't seem to recover from this state -- that is, the
cursor remains hollow for the rest of the emacs session, and
will not become filled even when input focus is explicitly
given to the window.

Any suggestions?
