Cmdtool windows "fade away" in SunView

[Glenn F. Leavell]

While using Sunview from SunOS 4.0.3 on my Sun 3/50, I have noticed a
phenomenon which I can't explain.  After keeping a cmdtool window open for
an extended period of time, say several weeks, it will suddenly and
without warning close up and die.  I have wondered if maybe this happens
whenever the text buffer (for scrollback) fills up.  Has anyone else ever
experienced this problem?
