I have recently compiled Andrew patch level 7 (+ vui.patch) but it is
still core dumping.  The following is on a Sun 4 running SunOs 4.0.3c.
Compilation was on a Sun 4 running SunOS Release 4.0.3_EXPORT.  Both
Suns have X11R4 mounted with the most recent fixes.

ez ./ (or any directory) causes a core dump.  This is due to
filetype__CanonicalizeName getting a null pointer from one of its
callers.  Fix is to check for a null pointer.  I patched this and it
worked more or less.  When moving to a child directory (select the
name and zoom in) a new window opens with the new directory but the
original window also switches to the new directory.

Start up arb.  Create a new lset window.  Use <esc>-<tab> in the lset
to add an org.  Add another inset from arb.  Then select the org and
press the cut key in the arb window.  arb will core dump.

zip features.zip (in the samples directory) causes the X server to
core dump.

Paul.
