Thank you for reporting. I send the copy of this mail to debian-x list, expecting to get attention from someone with enough knowledge and skill in Xaw library.

I have installed same version of packages (libc6_2.2.4-4, libxaw7(-dev)_4.1.0-9, xlibs_4.1.0-9), but recompiled binary is still affected by this problem. And, interestingly, this problem would not happen in my potato XFree86 3.3.6 environment. So I doubt this is caused by some inconsistency in libXaw in XFree86 4.1.0. Here is the script from gdb output with the binary built with -ggdb: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/local/src/package-build/xpostit/build/xpostit-3.3.1/./xpostit Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x4005a5ce in _XawTextZapSelection () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7 (gdb) where #0 0x4005a5ce in _XawTextZapSelection () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7 #1 0x4005a557 in _XawTextZapSelection () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.7 #2 0x400c1593 in _XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #3 0x400c1a0c in _XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #4 0x400c1f24 in _XtTranslateEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #5 0x4009f5a2 in XtDispatchEventToWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #6 0x400a077c in _XtSendFocusEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #7 0x400a7afc in _XtHandleFocus () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #8 0x4009f53f in XtDispatchEventToWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #9 0x4009fd6e in _XtOnGrabList () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #10 0x400a0108 in XtDispatchEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #11 0x400a0519 in XtAppMainLoop () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #12 0x0804cb7a in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffa04) at xpostit.c:228 #13 0x4020566f in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) When I use Xaw6 with libxaw6-dev installed, then the script of gdb is changed: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/local/src/package-build/xpostit/build/xpostit-3.3.1/./xpostit Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x400428ff in XawTextSourceRead () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 (gdb) where #0 0x400428ff in XawTextSourceRead () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #1 0x40033ea7 in _XawMultiSaveAsFile () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #2 0x40042477 in XawTextSinkFindDistance () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #3 0x4003dd2f in _XawTextGetSTRING () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #4 0x4003d849 in XawSimpleMenuClearActiveEntry () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #5 0x40040fe3 in _XawTextPrepareToUpdate () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #6 0x40042c6c in _XawTextMBToWC () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #7 0x40045a7a in _XawTextZapSelection () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6 #8 0x400a8593 in _XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #9 0x400a8a0c in _XtMatchAtom () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #10 0x400a8f24 in _XtTranslateEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #11 0x400865a2 in XtDispatchEventToWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #12 0x4008777c in _XtSendFocusEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #13 0x4008eb0b in _XtHandleFocus () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #14 0x4008653f in XtDispatchEventToWidget () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #15 0x40086d6e in _XtOnGrabList () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #16 0x40087108 in XtDispatchEvent () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #17 0x40087519 in XtAppMainLoop () from /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 #18 0x0804cb7a in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffffa04) at xpostit.c:228 #19 0x401ec66f in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6 (gdb) I've not confirmed where the problem lies, but the segV does not occur in the code of xpostit when I checked the execution by "step" command in gdb. Can you give me some hints ? If you know something, please let me know.
