The seg_faults seem to be occuring somewhat randomly in ImLib and Gnome.5 with references to some functions from libc_r. The faults only seem to occur on heavy load situations. The same applications are rock-solid under KDE2.2 (I'm using it right now--having to restart one's mail agent four or five time to read one e-mail is a little hard to take). If anyone with the skill is interested, I'd be happy to debug build any/all of the necessary components. -- jmc MacroHard -- the perfection of form over substance, marketing over performance, and greed over design . . .
