The current source (CVS or 3.1.1, same) of XaoS (http://xaos.sf.net), if you
compile it and run bin/xaos, gives a segmentation fault if you press the button
B twice (setting perturbation on/off). Now if I add the following line to
src/ui-hlp/menu.c in the end of uih_persw():
printf("");
there will be no segfault. Do you think this is a gcc problem? (However,
other statements may solve the problem, not only printf(). I also tried sync()
with success.) I'm using SuSE 9.1 (but the same problem occurs on 9.0, too,
with an earlier gcc version).
However, I'm not an expert in C programming. But this seems to be odd that a
virtually uneffective printf("") can solve a segfault problem. I never
experienced such an odd behaviour earlier in gcc.
