Hi Fulvio: The symptom I get here (for the case of sleep(2) before exit(0) for x01c.c) is that for the xwin, xcairo, and qtwidgets device drivers) right click or hitting the enter key immediately kills the window and then there is a two-second delay before command is returned to the command line. For -dev wxwidgets, the two-second delay occurs while the window is still displayed which is a subtle difference but also unexpected. Is that the difference you are referring to for the single plinit case? If so, I have verified at least that part of the issue. > This is not all the story, if you make > a double example, that is a single program that does two examples > one after the other, this breaks with segfaults before opening > the second window, I imagine at plinit. > This is what my example did: > > perlconsole > do 'x01.pl' > 12 > press right mouse => window hangs > do 'x01.pl' > 12 > 139% segmentation fault > > or > sbcl > (require :plplot-examples) > (plplot-examples::example1 "wxwidgets") > ;; window hangs there > (plplot-examples::example1 "wxwidgets") > ;; catches segfaults These are poor examples in the sense that the perl and lisp bindings for PLplot are all external to the PLplot core development so PLplot core developers are not particularly familiar with those bindings. So please send a temporary patch for a simple example (say for examples/c/x01c.c) that generates the segfault in the double plinit case for you for wxwidgets but not for other devices. That patch should help make it convenient for core PLplot developers to verify the issue. >> So to pin down exactly what the issue is that you are seeing we need >> more information from you.

Thanks for answering the platform question but please also answer the other questions as well. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
