- Reply-to: cygwin-xfree at cygwin dot com
To reproduce:
1. Install texworks-0.4.3-1 from Cygwin Ports.
2. Create two tex files in your home directory, say test1.tex and
test2.tex. I don't know if the contents matter, but in my case both
files contain the following:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello
\end{document}
3. Start the X server by using the Start Menu shortcut.
4. Start texworks by typing "texworks&" in an xterm window.
5. Click on the "Open" icon to open one of the tex files. Then do the
same to open the second.
At this point the X server crashes and gives the message "Caught signal
11 (segmentation fault)". Server aborting."
Before the crash I get the following warning in the xterm window when I
open a file:
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/kbrown
I don't know if this is significant.su
I'm attaching cygcheck output and XWin.0.log.

P.S. I'm currently using the test version of xorg-server (1.12.0-1), but
I can reproduce the crash with 1.11.4-5 also. Also, I'm currently
testing the latest Cygwin snapshot. I just tried reverting to 1.7.11,
and the X server still crashed, but not just from opening two files. I
had to open and compile several tex documents before it happened.
