Hi,
I'm getting a segmentation fault from FvwmForm which only occurs when the
number of items grows to become comparable to the MAX_ITEMS definition in
FvwmForm.c.
In fact changing this
/* tba: use dynamic buffer expanding */
#define MAX_LINES 16
#define MAX_ITEMS 64
to this
/* tba: use dynamic buffer expanding */
#define MAX_LINES 26
#define MAX_ITEMS 84
gets rid of the problem. So, the problem must be occuring in the dynamic
memory allocation. (This idea is born out from using gdb.)
Is anyone familiar enough with this code to be able to
track down this bug without having to learn it in it's entirety (sp?) like
I would? If not, I will try to take a stab at it.
Tom
Oh yeah... This occurs with both fvwm2.2.2 and fvwm2.2.4 .
