[comp.unix.aux] xlock dies under A/UX

Has anyone had any sucess in getting the X11R4 application xlock running
under A/UX? I have got it to compile, and when it's run the screen saver
works fine. However, when a key is pressed to get the password window
up, xlock crashes with a segmentation fault.

Additional info:

xlock is a screen saver that secures your terminal - you have to enter
your password to continue.

A/UX v2.0
Same problem with both A/UX cc and gcc 1.38

Well, I got it to work! So there!

I had been playing with xpostit, and got that to compile by adding
-D_BSD_SOURCE to the compilation. Just for fun, I tried this with
xlock, and it worked (with one minor change to a call to getenv in xlock.c).

PS Thanks to those who sent me e-mail on the subject. It's nice to know
   that there are other A/UX users out there.
