- I've received the answer.
- It seems that it was posted on comp.sys.sgi earlier but
- anyway I got this message:
-
- THE BUG
- Any XView application run under IRIX 4.0.5 Xsgi X11-server
- will lock the Server on first mouse click and no more release
- it until killed from somewhere else.
-
- SOLUTION
- Run the application with '-Wfsdb' on the command line.
-
-
- There were some more solutions but this is the one I needed.
