It turns out to be a known problem with Digital UNIX 3.2c on some
workstations/servers that xdm child processes dies when trying to manage
the N'th terminal, where N vary with the particular workstation/server.
One symptom is lines like the following in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-errors:
error (pid 469): Unknown session exit code 2816 from process 7528
I got a patch from Digital (through Jens Arnth Jensen, thanks). The patch
was so new that I do not not have a number. If you have the problem, you
should contact your Digital CSC.
