Thank you to all who replied to my message below. A clean install of
5.3, xorg, gnome &c.. solved the problem (a little drastic I'll admit,
but I was going to have to upgrade at some point).

Best regards,

 Richard Mahoney

Dear Listmembers,

I've just upgraded to `xorg-6.8.1' and have begun to experience
seg. faults and core dumps with apps that rely on `glib-2.4.8'. The
standard error is noted below. `gnome2-2.8.2' no longer works and I've
had to revert to `pwm-2003.06.17'. A recompile of `glib', `gtk', all
of `Gnome2' &c. has failed to resolve the problem. Does it have
something to do with the following? :

 /usr/home/ports/devel/glib20/files/patch-gthread_gthread-posix.c


Any help would be very much appreciated.


Best regards,

 Richard Mahoney
