[comp.windows.x] XIO Error Message.

sinclair@cs.glasgow.ac.uk (Duncan Sinclair) (03/20/89)

Hi.

Could one of you xperts help me here?

I have written a widget - based on the Athena template - which forks
and talks to its child via two pipes.  All the correct streams are
closed as appropriate. (I think)

When the widget tries to kill itself - before or after the child dies -
using XtDestroyApplicationContext I get this error message:-

XIO:  fatal IO error 9 (Bad file number) on X server "fiji:0.0"
      after 32 requests (32 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

What's happening? What does it mean? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Duncan.
