776.0. "Window system hanging" by 43083::EDMUNDS ($ no !fm2r, no comment) Fri May 12 1989 13:32

    Also posted in VMS_FIELD_TEST:
    
    I get the entire windowing system hanging for between one and three
    minutes at random times. When it happens, I can log in via the LAT and
    work OK. SHO SYS doesn't show anything unusual. I'm quite happy to QAR
    this, but what other info would be useful (force a crashdump? a "sho
    sys"? others?).
    
    I'm running T5.2-42F, VAXstation 2000, 14mb and HPWM. If you want to
    blame the HP window manager I'll run DECWINMGR for a day or two.
    
    Initially I thought this was related to use of DECW$CALENDAR; there is
    some discussion on this in note 168 of that conference.
