lost bell, can I get it back?

Fri Sep 8 02:06:08 AEST 1989

This is a minor annoyance:

Whenever I switch between mulitscreens in SCO at the
same moment the bell is to sound, I loose the bell forever
on all screens!

The only way I have found to restore it is to reboot. 
<Ctrl-G> has no effect at this point.

What causes this? Can I get my bell back without rebooting?
