From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020625 Description of problem: Choosing "first-fit" for window placement in the sawfish configuration tool results in sawfish crashing to the desktop the next time it tries to place a window. Upon restart, it continues to crash as soon as it tries to place a window. This has also occurred very occasionally (once a day, so far) with the standard "top-left" placement method, however the first-fit method *always* works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Middle-click on the desktop and choose "customize", then "placement" 2. Choose "first-fit" and hit okay. 3. Spawn a new window by any means. Actual Results: Sawfish crashed back to the desktop and left me with the following on my console: rep: received fatal signal: Aborted struct debug_buf common: Backtrace in `fatal_signal_handler': <(null)+1107457944> <abort+409> <(null)+1074448636> <(null)+1074450908> <__gmp_rand+306> <__gmpz_urandomm+249> <(null)+1074026346> <(null)+1073985400> Lisp backtrace: #4 random ... #3 sp-prune-points ... #2 sp-make-grid ... #1 sp-do-placement ... #0 place-window (#<window 1a00002>) waiting for X server to shut down Expected Results: The new window should have been placed appropriately. Additional info: This is on a pristine install of Limbo. The machine is a 1ghz Thunderbird Athlon with 512mb RAM, Abit KT7a-RAID motherboard, and a Western Digital WD120JB hard drive.
