Before uploading version 0.4.3 I tested bbpager on a system using
blackbox and fluxbox.  It worked fine using the -w option.  No wild
expansion of the slit.  Upstream also mentioned that he thought this
new release would solve that problem.

Upon receipt of the email today from Scott, I tested bbpager 0.4.3
on yet another system where I actively use fluxbox.  On that system
I did experience the overexpanding slit.

A workaround I discovered is to start bbpager, watch the slit
overexpand, and then restart blackbox (or fluxbox) from the
right-click screen menu.  This resizes the slit back down to just
fit whatever is in it, including bbpager.

Now, why does it overexpand on some systems, and not others?  I've
no clue at the moment.  The system that worked cleanly for me was a
more recently installed version of blackbox, although both are
version 0.70.1.

Scott, are you using blackbox or fluxbox? And what version?  Does
the workaround work for you?

I'll bring this up with upstream again. The more clues we can
provide the better.

Thanks.
