starting xdm or kdm seems to log the following
/kernel: sigreturn: efllags = 0x13213   

but this behavior has only happened recently. The workstations are 
installed over ftp and older versions of 4.3 ( early June ) do not 
exibit this behaviour. Hope some one can sort this one out for me 
as it's all supposed to go live September.
