Mukerji) Newsgroups: comp.soft-sys.andrew Subject: Org Chart peculiarities Message-ID: Date: 25 Feb 90 17:30:32 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 38 I have noticed a few instances of strange behavior when using Org Charts. I was wondering if they are generic problems or am I doing something wrong. (1) I started with an Org Chart that is created by messages using Expose Tree. I saved this Org Chart in a file test.org. Then I did a ez test.org Ez came up fine and I could do everything with the Org Chart that I expected to be able to do. However when I tried to kill the buffer (Delete buffer ^Xk) containing test.org runapp silently dumped core and ez disappeared. (2) I started up sendmessage, and I included test.org in the message using ^X^I. It got included fine. But when I tried to do anything with the Org Chart in the sendmessage window, sendmessage froze, and then it managed to crash the X server!!! (3) If I carefully include an Org Chart in a message and just mail it without touching it at all then it does indeed go through and get received by the recipient. But it is a real time bomb. When the recipient tries to view this message, s/he can view it, but more often than not, that is the last message that s/he will view with that pariticular incarnation of messages, because soon thereafter it will hang with some segmentation violation message displayed on the console. Has anyone observed these strangenesses? If so, is someone working on fixing them? I believe we have patch level 3 installed here. I am not quite sure but Charlie Hayden can confirm or deny that.
