- System: Linux 0.99.1 w/libc.so.4.2 obtained from tsx-11
- before the *very* latest HJ release. SLS X disks
- obtained from tsx-11 mid- to late-October. Using
- X386mono on a normal VGA board.
-
- Symptoms: X clients (most, not all) dumping core
- w/segmentation violations. Some run fine.
-
- Has anyone experienced these problems? Some of my X
- clients (xmaze) seem to work fine but other, more important,
- ones (xterm :) simply dump core whenever I start them up.
- They exit with segmentation violations. Even when I try to
- start them in text mode (you should get a message like
- "Can't open display") they just dump core.
-
- I am running a somewhat older release of libc.4.2 (came
- from tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux/packages/GCC/libc.so.4.2.Z.
- I have no problems with this libc in any of my text-mode
- apps. Is this the culprit or is it the older SLS X disks?
- There are no telltale error messages from the stderr of the
- X server (not even the core dump messages!?).
-
- Any help appreciated.
