Generally speaking, running any software as non-root should not hang the machine ever. Did you run it as root? If not, it's a bug in Linux, not in gcc. Not that I object to you compiling it with -O1 if it solves your problem, but I do not suggest you continue your quest in this direction. Some other thing to try - run it on a non-local $DISPLAY. If you have another machine on the network, that is easiest. Even if not, it would be interesting to run it inside an Xnest or even an unconnected Xvnc. If it then doesn't crash, it means it's probably an X-related problem, and not an xmms one. -- Didi > > again 10X allot to all. > > //------------------------------------------------------------ > /** > * "Programming today is a race between software engineers > * striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, > * and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. > * So far, the Universe is winning." > * > * @author: Rich Cook > */ > > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
