They are: * In samterm, MAXFILES is too small. (I've been using 4K.) * In sam, private temp files are world readable/writable. * In libXg, "fontfile" is specified by the X client app. In general that cannot work: unlike in Plan 9, the X terminal usually won't share any filesystem with the machine on which the X app is running, so *no* filename can be valid for "-p9font". The fix is to store the unicode font map in an X property which is set by your xinitrc. I'll dig the diffs out of my RCS files tomorrow and sent them along.
