[9fans] drawterm hang on solaris2.8

[9fans] drawterm hang on solaris2.8

[Axel Belinfante]

Since we upgraded here from solaris 2.6 to 2.8
(also, the local ethernet was upgraded from 10Mb to 100Mb)
drawterm now hangs regularly, burning cpu cycles without
visible effect, most often when I'm doing something in acme.
When I look with dbx it seems to hang in ipread.
Recompiling drawterm on solaris 2.8 did not help.
The drawterm code I use is from March 28 2001 (did I miss an update?)
Any ideas? (or places where it _does_ work on solaris 2.8?)

Just for those interested (or for the archives), a followup
to my own message about regular hangs of drawterm.
I now recompiled drawterm with paths correctly pointing
to MIT X11 headers and libraries (before I used the openwin
headers and libs) and now it seems to work better (read: o.k.).
I don't understand why it now works, but I won't complain.

Axel.
