Or should I > investigate a bit more? On which server? xrdb is programmed ugly. It constantly dumped core when run against an IRIX server, so i've investigated, and replaced all the "big enough" :-) static arrays by a dynamic approach. (The SGI server simply had too many server extensions, and for each extension, a -D will be added to the cpp command line.) I've submitted my fix to the XConsortium, but haven't heard back anything except the initial autoreply. Try running xrdb without cpp. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
