initializing windows on suns

[Gregory Wilcox <greg@Think.COM>]

The initialize-windows command doesn't work too well for me on a Sun. It
does pop up a window; however, the window immediately goes away. Then it
says:

stopped (tty input)

Process Lisp exited abnormally with code 1

If I give the window something to do (such as sleep) it sticks around
for awhile. However, it's almost impossible to get rid of until it
finishes whatever it was doing. This makes code development a very slow
process. 

Does anyone have any insight on this behavior or care to suggest a
workaround?

Thanks...
