It has been fixed and a new src has been posted laterly. Check that FAQ for more details. I found out this in the hard way. I tried to use Thomas Roell's X386 ported to ESIX by Mike Knister of U.Michigan. When I started xclock, it core-dumped right away. Later when I read the FAQ for X, I learned the existance of the bug.

You can get a working xclock by recompiling the standard MIT distribution xclock and linking with non-shared libaries. ...Martin Martin Schedlbauer (mschedlb@ulowell.edu) Institute for Visualization and Perception Research Department of Computer Science University of Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854 (Tel: (508) 934-3612)

The FAQ mentions the problem and recent reposting of "xlock", but I found no reference to "xclock" in the FAQ posted on 31-Dec-90. Is there a newer FAQ, or did we accidentally drop/insert a character? -- Mark Mark W.

In one of the files in the distribution, it states fairly clearly that the old clients will have to be recompiled. Roell uses Streams, X likes to use socketts.....

Rector drector@orion.oac.uci.edu |> Dept. of Math. U. C. Irvine, Irvine CA 92717 According to Thomas Roell the next release of the server (any day now) will support ISC clients and include a binary distribution for network connections. As to xclock, go to the MIT :->. Now really, he did the server, not the clients. Get the distribution and hack it yourself. ---- Thomas M.
