I have just tried it with the latest cygwin, xfree and tools, and I do not get a core dump. The program runs OK, but with some interesting behaviour (on win 2k sp2) If I run it with *no window manager*, just XWin, then I get a window containing a square which closes after 10 seconds. All as expected by reading the code. This is true with all XWin engines. However, when I run a window manager, then the square is sometimes missing, sometimes has only two or three sides. Which result I get appears to be non-deterministic. I have tried this with twm, wmaker, fvwm2, icewm, and sawfish. Same behaviour in all cases. Does this indicate a race condition somewhere in the window manager protocol implementation in cygwin XFree86? Steven
