DECwindows: enoying message format

The Question is:

When activating own X application to a terminal that is not active
(=waiting for login, shut off etc.), the Xlib generates messages to
log file in following format:

Xlib: connection to "_WSA206:" refused by server
Xlib: C
l

e

c

These messages ultimately fill up the log file disk.

The 1 character / line method consumes lots of extra space.

I have reported this to our local office, no comment so far.

Help!

The Answer is:

    I'm not sure, but I saw this one-char-per-column stuff with UCX and
    the answer was that it was a bug in the VAXCRTL that has been corrected
    in the DECCRTL.  It had something to do with SYS$OUTPUT not being
    a process-permanant file, etc.
