Description:
fvwm occasionally crashes (a few times a day).
Repeat-By:
Since I've started trying to take note of when it crashes,
every time it was when I was
- switching tabs in firefox,
- opening a new tab in firefox, or
- closing a tab in firefox.
(I'm currently running ffx 38.6.0esr but this crashing problem
has been occurring on and off for quite a while, so it is not
specific to that particular version of ffx). However, I'm not
certain that changing tabs in firefox is the only time it
happens.

FWIW:
(1) I'm using Slackware64-14.1 on a Fujitsu T900 with a Core i7
M620, 8 GB of ram.
(2) I've let memtest86 churn away for a long time with no reported
problems. No other program on my system is showing any problems,
so while I'm not certain that it isn't a bad hardware problem, I
don't see any evidence of that either.
I saved a couple of core dumps. If further information from those
would be of use let me know.
