>Organization:
>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	package xview-lib-3.2.1 from 2.2.1-RELEASE and from 2.2.2-RELEASE 
	installed in 2.2.1-RELEASE, 2.2.2-RELEASE and -current with
	XFree86-3.2. Windowmanager fvwm-2.0.43.

>Description:

	These error messages come up whenever you start an xview client
	that is using the xview-lib from the package:

	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

	The same happens if you rebuild the corresponding port on a
	2.2.x - system.

	The package works fine on 2.2.x and on -current if built on
	a -current system.

	While trying ``make package'' the PLIST turned out to be wrong.


>How-To-Repeat:

        Install the xview-lib-3.2.1 and xview-config-3.2.1 and start
	an xview client like workman or ftptool from the ports collection.
>Fix:
	
	Rebuild the package in a -current environment and fix the packing
	list before that as follows:
