Sunview problems

Hi there,

I've got a major problem with a window (SunView) based application, for
reasons I will not reveal here I have opened 20 windows, now I need to
close all 20 and open another 20 windows, The problem is that Sunview does
not destroy it's windows when it is told so with 'window_destroy' but that
it only marks the window so that it can destroy the window when it comes
back in the notifier. This behavier is not really a problem, but since the
first 20 windows are destroyed AFTER the creation of my new 20 windows I
temporarily have 20+20=40 windows, and this causes Sunview to stop with
'window: Window creation failed to get new fd'

The function 'notify_dispatch' should handle this also but it doesn't.
