- The same thing happened to me. I installed olvwm and replaced the 'exec twm'
- line in my .xinitrc with exec olvwm, and got a Segmentation Fault. It gave
- the same error when I tried to run it outside of X (no complaints about
- inability to connect to the X server). I haven't had any time to look at it
- since then. I'm running the MCC .96c release on a 486/33. I'll probably
- try to tackle it this weekend; any suggestions (anyone) on what to try? I
- have flex now so I can "use the source".
