vi hangs user's dce sesison

[romano r_1]

Hi,
I've a C3000 box with UX11i, it's the 2nd - 3rd time in a couple of months that the same user has this problem:
as soon he starts vi of a document all its dt sessions hang, the "X" daemon rise at the top of %CPU and the "~/.dt/errorlog" says:
"*** ERROR (4): dtsession: PID 2849: Mon Jan 03 16:22:29 2005
Unable tp lock display. Another application may have the pointer or keyboard grabbed.
*** [146]"

The PID is the dtwm that runs all the dtterm.
In order to operate again I've to kill vi.
Anyone has some suggestion?
Thank you in advance
Romano

Hi,

Do you have enough space in /var(/tmp)?

Yes, actually about 600MB and the files edited are about 5-10 KB.

Hi,
have you check for any patch?
(Xserver - Xclient - CDE)

For example PHSS_31255 - s700_800 11.11 Xserver cumulative patch, say:

"The X Server does not always lock the graphics device properly"
