I have noticed a few instances of strange behavior when using Org
Charts. I was wondering if they are generic problems or am I doing
something wrong.
(1) I started with an Org Chart that is created by messages using Expose
Tree. I saved this Org Chart in a file test.org. Then I did a
ez test.org
Ez came up fine and I could do everything with the Org Chart that I
expected to be able to do. However when I tried to kill the buffer
(Delete buffer ^Xk) containing test.org runapp silently dumped core and
ez disappeared.
(2) I started up sendmessage, and I included test.org in the message
using ^X^I. It got included fine. But when I tried to do anything with
the Org Chart in the sendmessage window, sendmessage froze, and then it
managed to crash the X server!!!
(3) If I carefully include an Org Chart in a message and just mail it
without touching it at all then it does indeed go through and get
received by the recipient. But it is a real time bomb. When the
recipient tries to view this message, s/he can view it, but more often
than not, that is the last message that s/he will view with that
pariticular incarnation of messages, because soon thereafter it will
hang with some segmentation violation message displayed on the console.
Has anyone observed these strangenesses? If so, is someone working on
fixing them?
I believe we have patch level 3 installed here. I am not quite sure but
Charlie Hayden <cch@mtgzx.att.com> can confirm or deny that.
