This is nearly insulting. The very first thing we probably tried as a result of your messages is try to print to pdf using the same name (and differnet names). I have not been able to crash it once. Since I am also supporting approximately 300 users of gnumeric for whom printing is an essential part of gnumeric's use (since they typically need to print their work to submit it) I also know that I ma not just `lucky'. > > Having said that, I concur that filing bugzilla reports is the best way to > get the bugs fixed.

Either you file bug reports or you live with the bugs. More likely though the bugs you are seeing are either openBSD specific or specific to your set-up. Andreas -- Prof. Dr. Andreas J.
