I run SF 2.01 in scid/ubuntu, which works "fine". I say "fine" because
SF tends to be very verbose, which is capitalizing on scid's tcl/tk
threading performance.

This is a Scid bug. And should be repaired.

Check out $HOME/.scid/ and remove the configuration stuff in there.

BTW: Scid (probably) only starts the analysis engine over and over
again, because you saved your scid window(s) layout (under options)
while the analysis window was there.
And, thinking a bit further, probably only after that you (installed
and) selected the SF crashing engine..

No clue how it works, but this was sent from my phone.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security 
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes 
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
