[comp.windows.x] xmh dumps core?

dennis@dennis.colorado.edu (02/21/90)

when I run xmh under a vanilla X11R4, it consistently core dumps
just after startup.
Is this a known problem, is there a known fix?

If xmh was built with the compiler gcc 1.34, 1.35, or 1.36, and if the
public patch #2 from MIT has not been applied to the source tree, then
yes, this is a known problem.  Either apply fix-2 to the sources, or
use a different compiler.

Otherwise, it is not a known problem, and a bug report should be filed.
The bug report template is in the source tree in doc/bugs.
