Dear Keith,
thought I'd ping you again. Please fix your spam filter! Regarding this patch: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/16753/ my question is very simple: is this patch good enough to be put in a distro release? Or are there things to be clarified? I'm trying to get it into the upcoming Mageia 5 release (I assume it will be released before Xorg releases it's next libX11 version) I cannot stress enough the seriousness of this bug. An application that gets killed by a library without any way to recover is not something to be taken lightly. In a certain sense I got lucky that my app is so heavy on graphics, so I was able to find a solution rather quickly (as did Jonas btw). I suspect most people just see (seemingly) random crashes, shrug and restart whatever they were running and then blame the application programmer for writing shitty software. I find that hard to accept... best regards, Jan On 6 August 2014 17:14, Jan Smout <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Keith, > > my previous mails probably got lost in the noise.
