ctwm 3.4beta1 is still crashing

Hi,

I am having a problem that only occurs when I'm using ctwm. I'm not
convinced that ctwm is causing the problem though. I was wondering if
anyone else has seen it.

I am running X11R6 on a Solaris 2.5 sparcII. I am running ctwm-3.4 beta1

% ctwm -version
Twm version: MIT X Consortium, R6, ctwm 3.4beta1
Compile time options : XPM USEM4 SOUNDS

What happensf is that I start an Xterm (or something) and it
comes up positioned so that one border is outside my current screen.
My X session immediately stops listening to my mouse or keyboard.
After 3 or 4 seconds, my screen goes dark, and then my X session
crashes, leaving me at a console login prompt, and a keyboard in
"raw mode." Note that ctwm is not the client that my X servers waits
on before exiting, so I'm pretty sure that my X server is crashing,
not ctwm.

Any clues, thoughts, suggestions are all welcome.

Thanks,
