From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.6-3.1smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: There is a coding error in fvwm-2.2.5/libs/fontset_wrapper.c that will cause fvwm2 to crash. basically it frees a fonttable struct from a linked list, without PROPERLY linking around the element to be freed. The author knew what needed to be done, he/she just did it wrongly. patch file, update to spec file are attached. Note crash is dependent upon how fvwm2 starts up. It will either always happen, or might not. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. pull out an old AnotherLevel rpm and install it. 2. start an X server with the following for a window manager: /usr/X11R6/bin/fvwm2 -cmd 'FvwmM4 -debug \ /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/fvwm2rc.m4' 3. the old fvwm2 will segment violate. every single time. Actual Results: fvwm crashes, no wm started up Expected Results: fvwm to start up in AnotherLevel look/feel Additional info: patch attached. um, opps. you no longer can attach files to bugzilla reports. Will the maintainer please e-mail me. I'll mail you the patch and spec file updates. thx, and rgds, -Greg
