Environment: Sun 3/50, X11R3, Sun Unix 4.2 Revision 3.4, Twm Revision 1.2
Sometimes when an application creates a window, maps it, and during
subsequent computation, exits due to a segmentation fault (core dump),
the window created by the application does not go away. Worse yet, I
am unable to kill that left-over window (by xkill or twm's f.destroy).
Also, after I fix the segmentation fault bug in the application, and
rerun it, the left-over window some how interferes and prevents the
new window from being mapped! The only way out I know is to kill twm
and restart it. That removes the left-over window and things resume
working normally (until another core-dump, that is :-).
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Is there something that I should
be aware of to avoid this problem? Any help will be appreciated.
