For the record, I saw the same behaviour a few days back on PPC Linux,
but it was only inside my experimental GUI and not with the CLI. I
assumed it was a problem with my GUI code. The "Display list redraw
incomplete" message was intermittent, but the opening of the extra
windows was fairly consistent (but they popped up and then closed).

I don't remember the exact triggering mechanism, and I don't remember
seeing it recently. I can't reproduce it on my desktop, which is i486
Linux (according to R). I'll try the ppc when I get home.
