I routinely get the Xnews server to crash and dump core with
the following message,
XNeWS: internal error detected (SIGSEGV).
Report this problem to a knowledgeable person.
this is the information I get from dbx,
zippy{santiago}31: dbx /usr/openwin/bin/xnews core
Reading symbolic information...
Read 3981 symbols
warning: core file read error: address not in data space
program terminated by signal ABRT (abort)
(dbx) where

are there any "knowledgeable person" type people out there
who could give some kind of clue as to what conditions
may cause this kind of error to occur?
Maybe someone has compiled a list of situations where
this kind of error occurs?
Maybe someone could tell me who the "knowledgeable person"
Sun is referring to would be?
Guesses are welcome!
My environment is as follows;
SPARC 2s and SLCs, and OpenWindows 2.0 installed straight from the CD
in my .xinitrc I spawn a Console Xterm, mwm, then one more Xterm
in that order and all in background and that is it.
Thanks,
