From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla Description of problem: CDE aps on Sun Solaris, like swmtool and admintool crash and then core dump, then the display enviroment variable is set on the remote Solaris server, to the display of the local RH7.1 Workstastion. Note that openwindows aps still works. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.telnet to Solaris server and login 2.Type in telnet term at prompt: DISPLAY=RH7_1WORKSTATION:0.0; export DISPLAY 3.On the local workstation type at prompt on term: xhost +RH7_1WORKSTATION 4.In the telnet term of the remote host (Solaris) type at prompt: anmintool 5.You can try swmtool as well. 6.Core dump on remote host and application exits. Actual Results: Core dump on remote host and application exits. This means that I can't run any remote CDE integrated aps and display the output on the local X-server XFree86-4.0.3 Expected Results: Application opens application window on local Workstation (or X-server). Additional info: This was not a problem with RH7, but there was a problem with some EMC- Symetrix software, were the right button did not function properly, this was with XFree86-4.0.1 I think. Note that this problem did not exist on RH6.2, with XFree86-3.X
If the applications are core dumping in Solaris, then it is a bug in the applications running on Solaris, not a bug in XFree86. Most likely some poor assumptions in the applications in Solaris, are no longer being met with the newer XFree86. Since this involves applications I do not have in an OS I do not have or have access to, you would need to debug this yourself and provide direct evidence of a bug in our XFree86 before I could do anything about it if it were a bug in XFree86 anyway. If you do trace the problem back to an XFree86 bug, that can be reproduced with a small sample program of some sort, then we can consider it a bug in XFree86.
