Thank you for the reassurance. I was assuming that I had fat-fingered something. I guess after all that I may be capable of doing `git pull && make`, but I would have to come back to the list at the first problem. Would that help the project?

And with the numerous windows, panes, sub-panes, and program threads, a newbie like me cannot even guess at how to alleviate the sadness.

I have a persisting behavioural problem, which I have asked about in the thread starting with "A failed query to ODBC data source" <http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/msg07455.html>. Short version: a persistent problem, but I cannot suggest that anybody else should care. Until somebody else says they care, I just wish I could stop thinking about ways to attack the problem. $SWEAR_WORD, I thought of another way even as I was writing the previous sentence. One SEGV has happened only with an earlier build. I do have a backtrace. Is it still of interest? Two SEGVs are in my latest build (master aa51fd4), but they do not happen again with grossly similar user actions. I do have backtraces. I even have a typescript of the entire gdb session. Given my inability to make them happen again, are they of interest? Thanks, Terry. _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
