I haven't done any testing with 8.4.0, and I'm not sure if the code
will work with it. I recommend 8.3.4 for now.

Any messages after timing out will be unpredicatable,
but the problem may be with the CMU startup rather than
the interface code itself. Is anyone else running CMU with
the current Xmaxima from CVS with problems?

Ouch - that one bothers me. There was an old bug in the code
that did that that I corrected in at least 2 places. I'll try
putting some diagnostics in, but this should never happen.
