   The same problem exists with other types of Sun monitors.  Even
worse: if you manage to get Centaur to start, resizing one of its
windows makes the Xsun server crash with a core dumped.  

   It is a bug of this version of the Openwindow X server.

   The best solution is to apply the official Sun patch numbered
103210 (Jul/17/96).  You may retrieve it from the following URL (for
south Europe):

	http://sunsolve.sun.fr/

   An alternative is to use the X11R6 X server, but in this case, you
will:

    - lack the display postscript extension of the X server
    - use not optimaly TCX monitors
