Anyone else experience an extremely long hang time when exiting XFree
on NetBSD0.9? If I exit the initial login window (from a plain xinit and
no xinitrc) or if I kill the server with CTRL_ALT_BKSPC, it will exit
graphics mode and hang for about an hour before releasing the console
and giving me a prompt.  I have even tried several combinations of killing
the server, killing xinit, etc.  All have the same effect.  This happens
both on my 386DX-40 (no coprocessor) and my friends 486DX-50.  We both
got the code from agate.
