Hello,

I have intermittent FVWM crashes. They occur when I start either
gnome-control-center, nvidia-settings, or wine (this one works almost
always). I use FVWM from Debian.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] 00:51:32 fvwm-cvs]$ fvwm -V
fvwm 2.5.23 compiled on Jan 31 2008 at 23:37:18
with support for: ReadLine, RPlay, Stroke, XPM, PNG, SVG, Shape, XShm,
SM, Bidi text,

Core is not always dumped, sometimes FVWM crashes with X11 error
message similar to this:

[fvwm.0][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> *** internal error ***
[fvwm.0][FvwmErrorHandler]: <<ERROR>> Request 73, Error 8, EventType: 28

But today I was able to obtain a core dump and trace SEGFAULT to
particular line of colorset.c:

(gdb) bt
#0  0x080a723e in parse_colorset (n=11, line=0x80eba93
"RootTransparent") at

Apparently, it is the place where average color is calculated. The
definition of 11 colorset is as follows:

Colorset 11 fg #D7D9DD, RootTransparent, Tint white 30, sh #404040, hi #404040

Is there anything else I can do to help to resolve the issue?
colorset.c in CVS head did not change since 2.5.23, so I did not build
and test it, but will surely do if necessary.

Thanks,
Roman
