Hi,
[Please retain the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so
that the Debian BTS has a record of your input]
This was reported by a Debian user. I have managed to
reproduce it (indeed, for me it happens even without adding the
explicit Wait to my regular .fvwm2rc).
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I keep getting segmentation faults from fvwm, and I figured out a way
to reproduce them consitently.
It seems that fwm segfaults when the control key is pressed while the
wm is waiting.
Here is how to reproduce it. Use the following fvwm2rc:
DestroyFunc InitFunction
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ "I" Wait foo
Then, while fvwm is waiting for something which is not going to
happen, press the control key. It's a guaranteed segmentation on my
system.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It does not appear under gdb, or while stracing (at least,
under strace, things just hung, there were no crashes -- but
it was not normal behaviour)

It may be bad manners to talk with your mouth full, but it isn't too
good either if you speak when your head is empty.
