[comp.windows.x] XDM aborts; help analyzing them.

terry@phoenix.ocf.llnl.gov (Terry Heidelberg x24154) (05/07/91)

I have installed MIT X11R4 on several Unix systems here.   I am 
seeing /core files from XDM on two of these systems that I monitor 
frequently.   I am wondering if the problem is an old one that 
someone else has already seen and analyzed.  Has anyone out there
seen XDM aborts with trackbacks like those below?    
Thanks for any help.
