This is Xnest's stderr, as is clearly seen by starting enlightenment from a different tty. > And if Xnest does indeed crash, > why doesn't the shell say so (or why didn't you include the > corresponding output)? I did include all the output my bash gave me. Ideed if I do a ulimit -c unlimited, I get a nice core of xnest which seems to have crashed via SEGV. I am using kernel 2.4.21 with the grsecurity patch, but my syslog does not show any grsecurity-related messages when a crash occurs. Furthermore, what is very strange, when I try to reproduce yesterday's bug today, Xnest works for a few X requests (depending on what I do inside enlightenment) and only crashes round the ~60 000th-300 000th X request. As a first step to get a -g compiled xnest binary, I just tried to build X11 myself (apt-get source xnest; debuild -us -uc in the directory, have plenty of disk space), but unfortunately, the build process terminates with: xftlex.l:272: warning: no previous prototype for `XftConfigLexDone' xftlex.l: In function `XftConfigLexDone': xftlex.l:274: error: `XftConfig_current_buffer' undeclared (first use in this function) xftlex.l:274: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once xftlex.l:274: error: for each function it appears in.) xftlex.l: At top level: lex.XftConfig.c:2039: warning: `XftConfig_flex_strlen' defined but not used make[5]: *** [xftlex.o] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/tf/xf86/xfree86-4.2.1/build-tree/xc/lib/Xft' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/tf/xf86/xfree86-4.2.1/build-tree/xc/lib' make[3]: *** [all] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/tf/xf86/xfree86-4.2.1/build-tree/xc' make[2]: *** [World] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tf/xf86/xfree86-4.2.1/build-tree/xc' make[1]: *** [World] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tf/xf86/xfree86-4.2.1/build-tree/xc' make: *** [debian/stampdir/build] Error 2 debuild: fatal error at line 456: dpkg-buildpackage failed! I should add that my machine usually does not exhibit strange behaviour when I do long calculations or compile large projects. -- regards, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (o_ Thomas Fischbacher - http://www.cip.physik.uni-muenchen.de/~tf //\ (lambda (n) ((lambda (p q r) (p p q r)) (lambda (g x y) V_/_ (if (= x 0) y (g g (- x 1) (* x y)))) n 1)) (Debian GNU)
