Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92
It may be benign since I'm trying to kill the server anyway, but it also points to a memory leak or some other error which is causing the GPF. xwinclip also fails at other times, although I haven't been running 92 long enough to see if it happens. It would be interesting if someone with access to Purify or another memory profiling tool could compile XWin and see what happens. -Pete Earle F. Philhower III wrote: Howdy...

It would be interesting if someone with access to Purify or another memory profiling tool could compile XWin and see what happens. Purify's a bit out of my price range, but IMHO this is not a real memory leak/etc. issue. Since it only happens during shutdown of the server, and isn't repeatable at that, I believe this is more of a freeing() in the main app cause by the shutdown of the X server (it frees all ScreenPtrs, for example) without killing the extra worker threads (xwinclip, mwmgr) who have local copies of some of these pointers. Sometimes the thread gets activated before the process completely terminates - and the GPF happens, and sometimes it doesn't get activated and the shutdown happens normally. However, if someone did have Purify, you're 100% right that it would be an interesting run in any case! -- -Earle F. Philhower, III [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ziplabel.com

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92
Joe, Don't know for sure what happened in your case. It appears that all X Clients (including the inernal window manager) lost communication with the X Server at about the same time. The *IOErrorHandler's are called when communication with the X Server is lost. Sounds like you had a hiccup in your TCP/IP network stack on your Windows machine. Lets just forget this unless it happens to you on a regular basis.

I was running emacs on a machine whose network connection blocks for several seconds every few hours. Usually, the X server (either exceed or XFree86) just tolerates this, but sometimes it blocks for too long and the SSH session times out, killing the X processes tunneled over it. I doubt that this is related, since you said that winMutliWindowWMIOErrorHandler is a consequence of /all/ clients losing their connections, but I thought it might be of some significance.

Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Server Test 92
What do you mean you get an xwinclip execption when using -clipboard. You aren't running xwinclip AND -clipboard, are you? If so, I would certainly expect crashes, since both xwinclip and -clipboard do exactly the same thing. Please tell me that you just made a mistake in your description and that you are not actually doing this. Harold Peter Colovas wrote: I'm running Win2k SP4. I have a problem with winclip exceptions.
