gnuclient makes 21.2.b20 unhappy
1. Start XEmacs
2. (gnuserv-start)
3. Start Gnus
4. read a few articles.
5. In an xterm, start "gnuclient -nw", which comes to life and
displays the *Summary* buffer that is current in the main X window.
6. Hang.
The main X window won't even redraw.

to a blind kill.
