Comment 2 Sammy 2004-10-30 02:11:50 UTC 
If you put a comment line into .Xmodmap file as: 
 
!Page Left 
 
NOTE no space between "!" and "Page" sourcing this segfaults every time. 
 
If you write 
 
! Page Left 
 
than everything sourcing works fine! 
 
FYI
Comment 3 Henrique Martins 2004-11-18 23:56:23 UTC 
I don't think the space is important.  Any line with 11 characters
before the new line seems to do it, i.e.:
  !2345678901
will do it, but
  !234567890
or
  !23456789012
will not.

There may be other combinations that work.
