To pass command line arguments in gdb, add them to the "run" command. For example: $ gdb ./x01c <gdb copyright and other output> (gdb) run -dev xcairo That should be equivalent to running "./x01c -dev xcairo" >> (3) plend/xcairo segfaults on all (?) platforms.

These points are all true, from what I have seen and remember. If one avoids text then there is no segmentation fault on any platform I have tested. Also, last I checked, this does not occur on Fedora. It has been a while since I have tested this particular issue there though. I agree with Hazen that it is not currently worth delaying the release for this. It is a bad problem, but I don't think an extra week will make much of a difference in this case. Hez -- Hezekiah M.
