Hello,
I've never encountered this problem before, and unfortunately, that stack trace
didn't help at
all.
Would you consider creating a debugging variant of the package? It's quite
simple, all you
should need to do is the following:
apt-get source ctwm
cd ctwm-3.7
vi Imakefile.local
# change the line saying '#undef DEBUG' to '#define DEBUG', the save and quit
vi
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b
And voila!, you have a package in the parent directory, should be named
something like ctwm_3.7-
2.1_i386.deb, and all you need to do is install it (using dpkg) and try again.
The core dump
generated should give a better stack trace, one which we could use to figure
this out, if
possible.
