You ought to make the xf86jmp_buf larger than 200 bytes. I have access to a machine where the jmp_buf storage takes 232 bytes already! (A PowerPC running BSD/OS 5.0) The downside of having lots of general purpose registers and a floating point unit with lots of available registers, I suppose. Might I suggest 256 bytes? -Kurt _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
