fvwm 2.5.25 core dumps on Solaris 9 SPARC when I open an xterm from the
built-in menu.
I've been using 2.5.24 on the same system since mid December without
issue. I start fvwm via dtlogin.
My normal .fvwm2rc config file causes 2.5.25 to core with the error
[fvwm][parse_colorset]: <<ERROR>> error reading root background.
The backtrace from this core file is the same as below.
I don't use an image on the root window. I just change the color to
black.
I created an empty config file with the command
cat /dev/null > $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc
to try to determine what was causing the error in my config.
When I select xterm from the built-in menu fvwm core dumps;
Here's a backtrace;
