exiting xterm and broken unixkill

[Lester Ingber <ingber at ingber dot com>]

Since the last update of x11 I have been having continual exiting of
xterm windows, and badly behaving unixkill.  I attach the output of
cygcheck -s -v -r > cygcheck.out

I start my windows with a startxwin.sh script, modified to use
XWin -notrayicon -unixkill -clipboard -multiwindow -silent-dup-error &
I have a script which call this startxwinMW.sh script, and after `sleep 3`
I call my xterm windows:
xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms red -bd red -geometry 80x84-6+0 -name right >>& $LOG &
xterm -j -sb -bg white -fg darkblue -cr green -ms red -bd red -geometry 80x84+585+0 -name center >>& $LOG &

While working, soemetimes within a few minutes, sometimes within an
hour, sometimes after a few hours, an xterm window will just exit.
I do not see any info in my ${LOG} file or in /tmp/XWin.log file.
This can occur after doing something as simple as typing `ls` or during
a batch job that "suspends" (when I know it should not) and after `fg`
or just doing nothing else.  In other words it can occur when running
a simple interactive or a background job.

When I am ready to leave x11 windows I use unixkill (CNTL-ALT-BKSP),
which always worked well previously.  Now, some tcsh shells and/or xterm
windows hang around.  Even when I kill "extra" processes not killed by
the unixkill (which I can view via pstree), logging out of the console just
about always hangs and I have I have to click on the X corner to leave the
(non-X) console.  I then check processes with CNTL-ALT-DEL, and sometimes
(not always) I have to kill some other tcsh and/or xterm processes.

I do not have any such problems with jobs crashing my console window,
or logging out just fine, if I do not start up XWin.

I'm running XP Pro on a ThinkPad A31p.

Thanks.

Lester
