- One of our professors just had OpenWindows die on him without warning,
- with the following message printed on the console:
-
- XNeWS: Internal error detected (SIGBUS)
- Report this problem to a knowledgeable person.
-
- I presume this is YAOWB (Yet Another OpenWin Bug). Is there a known
- fix for it (aside from using X -- we run some stuff that requires
- OpenWin :-( )?
-
- Two more observations:
- (1) I have never seen this error before, so it seems to be pretty rare.
- (2) From what I have been able to gather, the user wasn't doing anything
- unusual, just working inside a SunPC window when everything crashed
- on him.
