no, it doesn't. the crash has nothing to do with not finding the fonts. i ran the server under the debugger, and it crashed when it was trying to free some memory, presumably because of a bad pointer. anyway, as i said in a different message on this list, i got the xsun server to run by installing a new version of glibc which i compiled myself. i think the problem is in glibc actually. maybe the old egcs compiler used to compile the version currently in the sparc distribution produced some bad code. i wonder if recompiling it with gcc 2.95.1 will make the problem go away. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. |
