I'm no X hacker, but in general, libraries are not assumed to not segfault if you pass them the wrong arguments. The declaration of this function includes: char * /* buffer_return */ int /* bytes_buffer */ I haven't read the API doco, but I guess if bytes_buffer is longer than the size of allocated space for buffer_return, it's likely to segfault. (this includes when buffer_return is unallocated) -- Robert Millan (Debra and Ian) (Gnu's Not (UNiplexed Information and Computing System))/\ (kernel of *(Berkeley Software Distribution))
