Xwin crashes in multiwindow


Hi,
I have found that with some programs XWin crashes
giving segmentation Fault. The problem arises
when the client program is stopped using the X button of
the Windows window.

The cygcheck output and the XWin log file
are attached.

In case you need it, I can also attach the source of
of some of the programs that fail. Unfortunately
the problem does not always appear, particulary
for very simple programs it does not arise.

Apart from the XWin.0.log the following messages appear in the
terminal window used for starting the server

Segmentation fault at address 0x1c

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting

$ [mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

The message says that the server is aborting, but actually it does not
disappear. It cannot be stopped with the exit button in the
servers menu. After trying that the following message appears

$ winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.

I had to stop the server using kill -9

bye

RM
