- Hi. All those who upgraded elm to patchlevel 20 and get a Segment
- Violation, Bus Error or similar signal when leaving elm with 'x' may
- apply the following patch to the file src/exitprog.c. Everything
- should work afterwards. But be aware: DON'T FORGET TO REMOVE THE PATCH
- AGAIN BEFORE YOU APPLY THE NEXT OFFICIAL PATCHES!!!
-
- Hope this helps 'til the next official patch.
