Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2005-12-16 17:29:17 UTC
What type of database were you using?

Comment 3 Craig Goodyear 2005-12-16 17:33:18 UTC

> What type of database were you using?

The crash occurs prior to reaching a dialog to specify the external database or
database type.  It occurs while trying to create the .rkl file.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2005-12-16 17:54:56 UTC
OK, I see. I cannot reproduce this crash on my laptop (FC5), let me try to find
an FC4 machine to test with.

Comment 5 Tom "spot" Callaway 2006-04-07 14:29:54 UTC
I can't reproduce this in 2.4.0. Please try to update to the 2.4.0 packages
(making sure the 2.2.* packages are missing) and test this.

Comment 6 Craig Goodyear 2006-04-07 16:54:20 UTC
Updating to version 2.4.0 has fixed the problem.

Comment 7 Tom "spot" Callaway 2006-04-07 17:32:44 UTC
Closing.
