I'm having the problem primarily on my Octane, but we're also seeing it on an O2. The o32 version I built for an old Onyx and Indigo2 have the problem occasionally. (I.e. I can usually run for 10 minutes or more without having them crash -- if I get 1 minute of work out of the Octane I consider myself lucky.)

The problem only occured when dx was started with "dx -edit". I could not duplicate at the time, but while trying to look at the Motif problems, I noticed that while using our SGI Octanes, they do indeed coredump on exit. It looks like a bus error that occurs in memory.c within afree() at line 855 during ExCleanup(). I also checked on a second Indigo and an O2, and there are no problems when I exit. As far as the Motif 2.1, I really have nothing to add except that I am not experiencing any problems with control panels using Motif 1.2.4 dev software and a combination of Motif 1.2/2.1 execution.
