- Your error message indicates that the CLM server process has dumped core and
- taken the connection with it. There are known problems with destroying certain
- Motif widget hierarchies, so you might want to take a look at the core dump
- and see where it crashed.
-
- Of course you should make sure that you are using the latest version CLM 2.1.
-
- A timer that has been created in the disabled state should have no effect
- because it is just a random data structure in the CLM server. A timeout is
- only registered with Xt when the timer is enabled. Maybe the code in the
- timer callback is important. If the timer is enabled, you should destroy it
- before quitting, but your crash does not seem to occur in this case.
-
- You can contact me directly for any questions about CLM.
