1975.0. "DECWINDOWS server hangs on FIREFOX" by TAV02::GAN () Thu Dec 28 1989 02:44

** The same note entered both to DECWINDOWS and FIREFOX conferences **

	One of our customers has problem with FIREFOX
	8 planes. He is using VMS 5.2 + DECWINDOWS on a cluster.

	From time to time the DECWINDOWS server on the FIREFOX
	hangs. No response from the window system. You can continue
	working in a SET HOST or LAT session.

	When that happens, he tries to restart DECWINDOWS (by the
	command @DECW$STARTUP RESTART). It fails with a message
	like "Fail to allocate KEYBOARD, device allocated to
	another user" or something similar. When doing SHOW SYSTEM
	the old decw$server process do NOT appear. The only solution
	is to reboot the FIREFOX.

	There are no problems on the other VAXSTATIONs of the same cluster.

	Is it a known problem with the DECW$SERVER on the FIREFOX?
	Is it fixed under VMS 5.3/DECW 2?

			Thanks in advance

	Window win;

	while (!(win = XtWindow (w))) w = w->core.parent;
