Let's see... | $ pkg_info wmii | Information for http://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/wmii-3.6p5.tgz | | Comment: | dynamic window manager | | Description: | wmii is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and | dynamic window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and | filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm | with a new tagging approach. | | Maintainer: The OpenBSD ports mailing-list <ports@openbsd.org> | | WWW: http://wmii.suckless.org/ Nope. There is a newer version of wmii upstream, but they merged the tarball with what we have as libixp, so the ports are going to need a bit of a rework to update them. First step if you care enough about this to look at fixing it is probably to test that newer version one way or another to see if it's been fixed upstream. Though upstream development seems to have slowed right down (I think many people interested in this probably moved to i3wm) so if that hasn't fixed things you're probably still going to need to do further work yourself to track it down. Note that some of the malloc flags you are using are quite aggressive and likely to trigger crashes from bugs in code.
