Sorry, fingers hit send too soon... A couple additions and corrections.
I'm using XForms for SGI 0.86 as currently available on the ftp site
(Sun Apr 20 23:11:00 1997) for IRIX 5.3
I was previously using 0.81 not 0.84.
Thanks,
Steven.

Subject: Forking Behaviour
I'm currently migrating a program from 0.84 to 0.86.1 and I'm noticing
some strange behaviour after I fork off a child process.
I'm executing fl_hide_object and fl_show_object on a FL_NORMAL_BROWSER.
Before forking off a child process, this browser gets hidden and reshown
properly. I'm just filling this browser with lines with
fl_addto_browser, after these addto commands, I have both right side and
bottom scroll bars.
After I fork off a child process, fl_hide_object hides most of the
browser but leaves the right side scroll bar shown (and strange enough, it's
still active, I can drag it up and down).
I'm forking off my child processes with fork().
This behaviour wasn't observed under 0.84.
Is there anything I have to do before executing a fork() call? I'm not
running graphics in the child process.
Thanks for your help,
Steven Ness
