    We're having problems with DECwindows Ultrix on a VS II/GPX.  We've
    been creating and crashing DECterms for testing.  After a while,
    it becomes impossible to create new emulators, either in that session
    or if you quit the session and start from scratch.  The emulators
    exit before they appear, or they appear and don't accept focus and
    don't come up with a prompt.  It also can happen when you save the
    setup creating 2 or more emulators at startup.  We have SDC DECwindows
    for Ultrix.
    
    Any ideas as to what the problem might be?  Checking with ps -aux
    shows that somethings there are runaway processes, but sometimes
    not.

|     The problem may very well be not enough swap space.  If you just installed
    the kit and took the defaults, you probably don't have enough.  Do a
    pstat -s and check out conversations about this in NAC::ULTRIX. You can
    add more by utilizing space on another disk (like I did) or by changing
    the partitions on your disk.
