Hello,

I just discovered a problem upgrading DEC 3000 model 300 systems using
PXG graphics cards to DEC Unix version 3.2c. The windows manager
blows up. Seems to run fine without the window manager. I called
T.S. and during my conversation with them another person called with
the same problem. They said they hadn't heard of it before our calls.
They have reproduced it in their lab. Loading Open3D didn't help.
Since DEC is phasing out support for the PXG cards I don't know how
fast the problem will be repaired. Since the machines are down (
at least not at v3.2c) I assume they will act promptly to repair
the problem.

DEC Unix v3.2 works fine on the systems.

I just wanted to warn all of the DEC 3000 model 300 /PXG users out
there before they wasted a couple hours of their time.

Wait for the fix.

Regards,
