>Description:
Xfstt thats in the ports contains several bugs that under certain cercumstances will cause it to thrash the drive continuesly forcing a hard reboot.
>How-To-Repeat:
difficult to say, it seems to relate to fonts that doesnt make sence to Xfstt,
from the CHANGES file:
1.0
Fix: illegal encodings causes xfstt to run away
FIX: now attempts to unlink unix socket on exit
Fix for BSD (was making Zombies - Thanks David Lowe)
Changed some types for clean compile
Added some Documentation to the FAQ
>Fix:
update the port to use version 1.0, I tried contacting the port maintainer, but the mail bounced:
jabley@clear.co.nz on Tue, 7 Dec 1999 03:37:34 +1300
The recipient name is not recognized
I changed the port, it now uses version 1.0 and would like to request that I be made maintainer for this port.
My port works perfectly, portlint finds nothing wrong with it, but ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming doesnt exist so I can submit it for your approval
