OK. The problem with bsetroot seems to be a Linux-only phenomenon.
Staring at the code for several hours hasn't turned up anything
wrong with it, so at this point I strongly suspect that either
the compiler or system libs are to blame. Of course, I've been
known to be wrong before...
Anyway, if you're running Linux and have built the new beta, could
you please send me -- just me, not the list -- the following
information:
- Linux distribution
- gcc/egcs version
- glibc version
- libstdc++ version
- does bsetroot segfault?
Hope my poor dial-up can handle the response...
Thanks,
Jeff Raven
