- Hello,
-
- I am running X11R5 on a Sun386i RoadRunner with SunOS 4.0.1. I have
- just begun to learn X and I have resorted to hacking X window software
- available via ftp to learn the fundamentals.
-
- I have written an X window application for rudimentary image processing
- tasks. The program allows the user to select various options from a
- menu and the program handles all file management, etc.
-
- All is running fine except that repeated calls to display an image to
- the screen results in the following message:
-
- "Programmer Botch in FreeAllPieces, there may be a memory leak."
-
- The menu is then obliterated from the screen, and a core dump follows.
- It is interesting that even after all of this confusion the image
- is successfully displayed to the screen. But further processing
- requires restarting the program.
-
- Do any of you X-perienced programmers have any idea as to how I can
- run down the problem??
-
- please respond........
