Re: Still getting Signal 11 error msg

[Harold L Hunt II <huntharo at msu dot edu>]

Fergus,

Don't send these messages to the Cygwin maiiling list.  That will only 
lead to them ignoring you if you later have a legitimate question.

You say you are getting a "Signal 11" error message, but I don't see a 
reference to which program is actually crashing.

If XWin.exe is crashing, then try running the debug version of XWin.exe 
that was posted a few days ago:

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-09/msg00108.html


You run this under gdb and "continue" through the first couple of 
exceptions until the server starts running normally.  Then, launch xdvi 
and report the location of the failure.

I hope you can put enough of your own time into this to figure out how 
to run XWin.exe under gdb, because I can't reproduce your problem 
locally so you are the one who has to do the debugging.

Thanks for testing,

Harold
