vanishing windows

[Mark Bartelt]

Here's an odd bug ...

(1)  Open a wsh window.

(2)  Do something that will spew lots of text to the window
     ("cat -v /dev/zero" tends to work nicely).

(3)  Resize the window (make it tiny).

Sometimes, POOF!, the window disappears.  Now this is not exactly the
most serious IRIX bug I've come across, but I wonder whether this odd
behaviour is symptomatic of some more general underlying problem.

Configuration is 4D/25, IRIX 3.3.1, in case that matters.
