One posible cause of your problem would be if you compiled anything (Andrew or X11) using the -O flag to produce "optimized" object files. I have seen some definite and reproducible cases where "optimized" means that it concluded that the program was probably going to die eventually anyway, so why wait until later? We've had several programs that suddenly became unbuggy on the Sparc when we compiled them without optimizaton. If you compiled the server with -O, that is very likely your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [An Andrew ToolKit view (a raster image) was included here, but could not be displayed.] [An Andrew ToolKit view (a raster image) was included here, but could not be displayed.] Nathaniel S.
