I have recently compiled Andrew patch level 7 (+ vui.patch) but it is still core dumping. The following is on a Sun 4 running SunOs 4.0.3c. Compilation was on a Sun 4 running SunOS Release 4.0.3_EXPORT. Both Suns have X11R4 mounted with the most recent fixes. ez ./ (or any directory) causes a core dump. This is due to filetype__CanonicalizeName getting a null pointer from one of its callers. Fix is to check for a null pointer. I patched this and it worked more or less. When moving to a child directory (select the name and zoom in) a new window opens with the new directory but the original window also switches to the new directory. Start up arb. Create a new lset window. Use <esc>-<tab> in the lset to add an org. Add another inset from arb. Then select the org and press the cut key in the arb window. arb will core dump. zip features.zip (in the samples directory) causes the X server to core dump. Paul.

"fix-2" had a fix to a bug that caused the MIT X server to drop core when fed certain arcs, including the ones that "zip" feeds it when fed "features.zip"....
