yes, $ pkglocate memscroller xscreensaver-6.15p1:x11/xscreensaver:/usr/local/libexec/xscreensaver/memscroller <snip> it's a "coredump" (contents of the memory of the running process) from when a run of that crashed. if you're on a release version of OpenBSD then you can probably get more information (as long as the file is dated since you updated the ls) - pkg_add gdb debug-xscreensaver egdb /usr/local/libexec/xscreensaver/memscroller memscroller.core bt full post the output (there will be a few screens full) in a post to ports@ and maybe someone will be able to help track down the cause. (if you're using snapshots then you're unlikely to still get a debug-xscreensaver to match the installed build of xscreensaver, but if you do "pkg_delete xscreensaver; pkg_add gdb xscreensaver debug-xscreensaver" and delete the .core you'll be setup to run the egdb command if it happens again). Do *not* post the core file itself, it may contain secrets. > -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
