I certainly succeeded at crashing the X server with it repeatedly, but the crashes are non-deterministic. The same choice of font and fontsize will not reliably crash each time. The wierd thing I did find is that, after crashing the X server and then restarting it, I would find anywhere up to six instances of xfontsel on the desktop instead of just one. (Using gnome2, FWIW.) Dunno what that means, but maybe someone else can use it as a clue? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
