Description of problem: An OpenMotif application that creates a MessageBox with an information icon crashes due to a segmentation fault when there are a large number of files in the user's home directory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openmotif-2.2.3-4.RHEL3.4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download attached test case files: Makefile and msg-box.c 2. Compile test case program: $ make 3. Confirm that the test case works: $ ./msg-box 4. Create 4000 files in home directory: $ cd $ sh -c 'for (( i=0; $i <= 4000; i=$i+1 )); do touch testfile.$i; done' 5. Try the test case again and see it crash: $ ./msg-box Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected Results: Should not crash. Additional info: If I comment out line 15 in the test case program (the line that sets the information icon for the message box), it does not crash. So perhaps it is looking for the icon in the home directory or something. The number of files needed in the home directory to cause it to crash can vary. It seems to be dependent on the length of the file name. I named the test files testfile.N. But if I make the names of the test files longer then fewer test files are needed to get it to crash.
