The problem will most likely be the member of a structure pointed by a NULL pointer being reference. Eg, mediaDevice-shutdown(...), i-kids. It would help further if you then break-pointed the function where the problem happened, and stepped through it to pinpoint when the variable turned to NULL (eg, mediaDevice-get(mediaDevice, ...)). -- Daniel C.

Re: current.freebsd.org snapshots and broken X11
I think I'm just going to go to the 3.4 bits; I don't have a definitive XFree86 distribution for 4.0 and I don't think I'm going to get one in time to make a difference. - Jordan It looks like the X11 associated with the snapshots on current.freebsd.org is still broken: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Share object "libXThrStub.so.6" not found Installing -current boxes for testing and development would be a lot easier if this worked. :-) Especially leading up to releases when testing changes in the install is useful :-) Robert N M Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.watson.org/~robert/ PGP key fingerprint: AF B5 5F FF A6 4A 79 37 ED 5F 55 E9 58 04 6A B1 TIS Labs at Network Associates, Safeport Network Services To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I was actually talking about FreeBSD 4.0, not XFree86 4.0. :) On Tue, 14 Mar 2000, Jordan K.
