I recall app_ingkey.err also, however, the bug is reproducable even when there's a known keymap, like vt100f. -shrug- Looks easy to fix, though; the output can go to std-err or to some ~/ directory. There could even be a pop-up form to tell of whatever news there might be. -shrug- We need a working engineering group. That means a working repository/build/release strategy. I haven't been at this a week so I can't yet say but it looks so far as if Ingres doesn't have these things and so is only at the very VERY beginning of being a real open-source product. ...Ingres Corp. v 2.0 needs to open up and help out... Maybe we can help that happen.
