On LinuxPPC, I'm having coredumps as well with the dxexec. All of my
crashes seem to be coming from the memory routines. That is why I
started to look at the memory source code. I did notice that if I
turned the optimization off, the dumps were less frequent--you might
try this. If you can try and document the locations where it dumps
when it happens, it might be useful to me in tracking down what is
going on.
As for the Motif 2.1 stuff. Rick Scott, our lesstif god, and Suhaib,
the cygwin god, had commented that there were going to probably be
problems with Motif 2.1. A lot of the Motif stuff had been coded by
someone with knowledge of the internals of Motif. Please file a bug
report about the control panel crashing a system with Motif 2.1.
Maybe somebody will have time to look at it.

I had a similar problem and resolved it by uninstalling the 2.1 version of
motif_dev. Unfortunately, I'm having other bad problems with 4.0.10 and
6.5.6f. If I run some of the samples, I eventually get dxexec crashing with
a segmentation violation (sometimes in strcmp in src/exec/dpexec/d.c and
sometimes in other places). The common thread between them is that they're
all happening in routines in libc.so. Some info on the build: I used gcc
2.95.2, mips4 ISA and n32 ABI.
I've also built an o32, mips2 version for some older systems (using an older
o32-enabled gcc). Some of the samples crash it, but I've had more luck with
it.
Anyone have an idea what could be causing these crashes? I've been beating
on this for a week or so with no luck.
