Well our question was answered through eMail, by
ejsiebe at chgvmic1.vnet.ibm.com he suggested that we compile with
-DNLS and it worked.  He (I am assuming the sex of the individual)
said that this was a work-around and thought that there was a patch
available to fix this bug, but I'm glad that we have something. :-)

Now if we can only get *real* boxes around our windows. :)
