Believe it or not.  When the message sender was expanded from a sent icon the attachedwindow with the buttons was missing (the prompt window on top of it was there) and my Dlion started play a low frequency tune which only disappeared when I killed the process.'

What a way to avoid bug reports!'
  (Whenever I select the Lafite Report form after choosing sendmail in the screen background this annoying situation arises).'

Incredible, isn''t it...'
'
The missing menu is an unfortunate interaction between Lafite and the just released Tedit; I''m in the process of fixing it now.'
'
The tone, however, is a complete mystery to me.  On the Dandelion I tried it on, it was not a low-frequency tone (rather something above middle C), and happened quite repeatably, though not always the same tone exactly.  It was not the result of a call to BEEPON, which suggests it was somebody trashing a location in the IO page.'

is OK, but use Purcell, vanMelle, Charnley, Masinter for "IO Page trashing" or other low-level possibilities.'

I''m trying to get Beau back on LispCore^ by getting the mail traffic down.'
