I'm seeing this problem when trying to open MS Word document in AbiWord, perhaps a bug in AbiWord itself, but IMO no application should be able to crash the server, so that we need to fix it ASAP. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
XFree86 crash, Bezier thing (was Re: Is phk rewriting the kernelover the weekend?)

Does this bug effect -stable? It only showed up in -current recently. Isn't it a bigger chance that something on the FreeBSD side made this bug much more visible?

It seems like the bug has been present in XFree86 all the time. But some thing has changed in CURRENT that tickles this bug. I started to experience this after I removed all ports and recompiled XFree86 with the new GCC 3.2.1. X also dies with signal 11 some times, so theres more to it than the Bezier bug. But if it is a CURRENT kernel or compiler issue, I don't understand why / how this should affect -STABLE / -RELEASE. I'll take a backup of my current X installation and do some tests and comparisons against the Aug 24 port build of XFree86. I'll have to find a sure way to reproduce the abort() and / or SIGSEGV failure first though. -- Eric Anholt [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/ -- Mvh, Frode Nordahl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Yes, i don't see any -stable systems bombing out. But it _always_ occurrs when typing. No matter what app... Sometimes in the linux opera, sometimes in the konq address bar. I dont think it ever happened when typing in an Xterm though.

Almost always happens when gnome-panel is just appearing on screen. No typing going on yet, naturally. If gnome-panel is using a TypeI font that might account for it. Oddly, though, usually if I just type startx a second time it all starts OK. Later it may crash with mozilla also, of course. I took TypeI out of my fonts-path and so far no more crashes, but it's been less than 24 hours, so still a bit early to crow.
