X crashes - signal 11, StuffIt expander resets Go, spinning drive A:
Hello again,
Beware that sometimes when executor dies, the next time you try to restart
it it might kill X. For example, get a copy of celpaint.sit.hqx from
mac.archive.umich.edu in the graphics/graphicsutil directory and try
running it, crashes executor. Then start executor again and I get booted
from X, the X server shuts down and it says something like caught signal
11. This is probably because since executor died it didn't get to clean
up any shared memory it was using or such. My current setup is X11R6 with
XFree86 3.1.1 with a Mach8 (ATI Graphics Ultra 1 Meg) server. In
addition, after you get booted from X, do a ps -x and kill the
executor process which is still running, otherwise after you go back
into X and run executor again, it will crash again.
Also I had a weird experience that after running StuffIt expander, Go
totally reset itself and all the programs and folders and things that I
had put into the bar were gone.
Lastly, why does executor spin my /dev/fd0 everytime it starts up?
(i.e. drive A:)
Finally, I'm testing out some graphics programs off of the umich
archive and here is a listing of some of them:
3ddots1.1.cpt.hqx makes 3d stereograms needs system 7
appledrawer1.71.cpt.hqx drawing program crashes X but
this takes a little while to do it. the program starts and
hangs with a perpetual Z mouse and then after a while moving
your mouse in the window will crash X - signal 11.
celpaint.sit.hqx sprite painting prog crashes X
certificatecreator1.cpt.hqx makes certificates works
designerdraw4.61.cpt.hqx flowcharting seems to work -
has some weird behaviour when you place items, all these
vertical lines show up, but they disappear after you have
placed the item. fonts are a little weird too.
decor2.6.sit.hqx drawing prog needs system 7
macconcept3.4v03.cpt.hqx cad type drawing works
the vertical lines also show up here and don't go away until
you grab the top bar of the internal window and move it a bit.
nice program actually, pretty good for this type of drawing
mattpaint1.93.sit.hqx drawing prog crashes
executor after initial splash screen - just a simple Exit -1.
nihimage1.54nonfpu.cpt.hqx drawing prog seems to work
drew some lines, changes some colors, pretty nice.
That's all for now.
