retitle 511645 xtrs: hangs on startup due to use of SIGIO
severity 511645 grave
tags 511645 - pending
thanks

xtrs 4.9c no longer works at all on modern Linux systems, so it should
not be part of the next Debian stable release until this problem is
fixed.

Tim Mann's 4.9d release fixed this SIGIO issue and several other
problems.  (Having just built it, I see there are fresh compiler
warnings that need to be quieted.)

I wondered with some irritation what jackass had marked this bug as
pending.

Turns out it was me, back in 2009.  :-|

Ahem, well.

I'm clearing the pending tag because I need to, ah, generate a fresh GPG
key pair and get myself back in the ranks of active Debian developers.
That may take time, and Stretch should not ship with this nonfunctional
package.

Regards,
Branden
