Package: kdrill
Version: 6.5deb2-2
Severity: important
When using certain versions of the radical file (radkfile), KDrill will
exit before displaying any window. When this happens (on my system), the
full text output of KDrill is:
========
kdrill 6.5: by Philip Brown -- [email protected]
Starting up kdrill... please wait a while.

========
I have been seeing this problem for some time when using manually
updated versions of edict and related files, but it now appears to be
happening with the versions available from Debian testing.
Note that different versions of the "bad line:" output do still occur
when using versions of the files which do not trigger this exit. That
may be a problem, but it's probably not this problem.
The error message is not printed by KDrill directly, but by the
XtGetApplicationResources function from libxt. The call stack is:
XtGetApplicationResources, library function
called from prefs.c:64, in GetXtrmString
called from radsearch.c:473, in InitRadicals
called from main.c:171, in main
Unfortunately, I have not been able to track the problem down further.
It looks like something is wrong with the Widget argument which gets
passed to XtGetApplicationResources, but I don't know Xt well enough to
know where to get started figuring out what, and I don't know radkfile
(et al.) well enough to figure out what part of the change in the recent
updates may be triggering the difference.
If there is anything I can do to help track down and fix this problem,
please do not hesitate to let me know.
