Terry, admit that you were just plain wrong again (and not even looking). At least the XFree86 server catches SIGBUS and SIGSEGV, in an attempt to cleanup and restore the screen state, and will eventually abort() itself. I don't see any reason why the XiGraphics (sp?) server would do it differently, since it also has to restore the screen mode. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
