Hi everyone;
   I noticed two incidents that dxnotepad kept running after users logged
out. What is more annoying is that it used all available CPU resource:
"ps aux" reported 99% CPU usage by hung dxnotepad if no other active
process was running, and the accumulated CPU time by dxnotepad was enormous.
   The problem happened on both DEC alpha 200 and 250 running DU 3.2.

   It looks very much like a dxnotepad bug to me. Does any of you have
similar experience or work-around? Is there a secret DEC patch for
dxnotepad that I do not know?

   Thanks for your attention. I will summarize.
