We have a problem with the latest release of ADSTAR Distributed Storage
Manager Version 2, Release 1, Level 0.3, where the SunOS X-windows
client is broken:

The "dsm" UNIX command X-windows interface doesn't work.  However, the
command-line interface "dsmc" UNIX command works with no problems.

When the "dsm" command is invoked, the following error is printed:

  Warning: Shell Widget class VendorShell binary compiled for R3

The ADSM window then starts up with three "ADSM - Caution"
popup-windows reporting (in order of occurrence):

1.  Cannot query Policy Set Information from server
2.  ANS3156E Cannot query server mount information
3.  ANS4510E Error allocating semaphores.

The ADSM window "File Systems for Restore/Retrive" then displays
the message "Not connected to server".

Apparently some very basic error has been made in the X-windows
version of the SunOS ADSM client.

The client machine is a Sun SPARCstation 2 running SunOS 4.1.3 with the
OpenWindows 3.0 X-windows interface.  The problem is identical with
Level 0.2 as well as Level 0.3.

Does anyone know what has gone wrong with the SunOS client ?
