Luckily fribidi (fribidi.sf.net) is rather easy to download and compile :-) BTW, the patch was against 0.10.4 (current release version). > Although if you take a look at my "#if 0" it would seem like the problem > is in your code, it is possible that the problem is in FBidi.c or fribidi. > Something is not allocated enough.

Or maybe you may fix it yourself. As was noted - I've tried the same exact code outside of fvwm and it worked flawlessly on thousands of examples (entire directories worth of files) without any issues. I will certainly stare at it again but without the ability to generate a controlled failure (ie. not having my entire session disappear on me :-) and without me knowing or having Xnest (or equivalent), I'm more likely to keep asking for help (ouch). Could something within fvwm's own code be getting rubbed the wrong way ? Regards, - Nadim __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
