Xrn6.3 and 6.4 core dumps when ever an article is going to be displayed. I am on a Sun 3 os 4 X11R4. It gets past the point where the text of the message is put into a temp file, but before the note is displayed there is a segmentation violation. I get the same error if I compile with gcc or cc. Has anyone else had the same error and fixed it? Or does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thank Tom Niermann niermann@bach.csg.uiuc.edu I get a segmentation violation in XrmStringToQuark. The stack looks like - XrmStringToQuark _XtCreateIndirectionTable _XtGetResources XtInitializeWidgetClass _XtCreateWidget XtCreateWidget XawDiskSourceCreate redrawArticleWidget(filename = 0x8d0c4 "/tmp/xrn793-a13406", question = 0x4024c "Article 793 in comp.sys.dec (52 remaining)"), line 1777 in "buttons.c" foundArticle(file = 0x8d0c4 "/tmp/xrn793-a13406", ques = 0x4024c "Article 793 in comp.sys.dec (52 remaining)", artNum = 793), line 1989 in "buttons.c" artNextFunction(widget = (nil), client_data = (nil), call_data = (nil)), line 29 13 in "buttons.c" artNextUnreadFunction(widget = (nil), client_data = (nil), call_data = (nil)), l ine 2965 in "buttons.c" switchToArticleMode(), line 1840 in "buttons.c" ngReadFunction(widget = 0x6a4a0, client_data = (nil), call_data = (nil)), line 2 249 in "buttons.c" _XtCallCallbacks XtCallCallbackList XawDiskSourceCreate _XtMatchAtom XtWindowToWidget _XtOnGrabList XtDispatchEvent XtAppMainLoop XtMainLoop main

You said that you were running 6.3 and 6.4 with R4.... do you mean an R4 server, and xrn linked with R3 libraries? Or are you running the R4 xrn from the mit tape? The R4 xrn on the mit tape excites a bug in the Xaw R3/R4 compability routines and has a few bugs itself (which causes the error you are getting).
