- I recently compiled olvwm, PATCHLEVELv3 3 and libolgx 3.1, on an RS/6000,
- using bsdcc as suggested. The port was fairly uneventful (yay).
-
- However, once in a while it will suddenly start malloc()ing (or brk()ing,
- whatever) endlessly, until the kernel kills it after a few seconds. In the
- few intervening seconds, I can't generate a coredump since, well, the window
- manager is not surprisingly being rather unresponsive...
-
- Does anybody have a cure for this?
