Fvwm2 version 2.4.6. No core files are created. None of the log files show
anything odd. Here are the messages from X:
XFree86 Version 4.2.0 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600)
Release Date: 23 January 2002
If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer than the above date, look for a newer version before
reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.18-1mdksmp i686 [ELF]
Module Loader present
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Fri May 3 10:08:34 2002
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4"
waiting for X server to shut down Terminal: fatal IO error 32 (Broken pipe) or
KillClient on X server ":0.0"
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
Connection lost to X server `:0.0'
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
As you can see the only thing odd is that the X connection is repeatedly
killed. I have now found a problem with the use of control-c in Matlab when
it is started using a button in KDE, so I strongly suspect there is something
wrong in Matlab.
