Hope I'm sending it to the right address this time.
Sorry about the noise,
Yehuda.

I'm re-sending since my mail had some problems last night and I couldn't
find the previous mail I sent in the archive.
My apologies if you got it twice.
Thanks,
Yehuda.
P.S: I took a look at fvwm/module.c where it crashed:
void SendName(int module, unsigned long event_type,
unsigned long data1,unsigned long data2,
unsigned long data3, char *name)
{
int l;
unsigned long *body;
extern Time lastTimestamp;
if(name == NULL)
return;
l=(strlen(name))/(sizeof(unsigned long))+HEADER_SIZE+4;
The SendName function to check that name isn't NULL but looking at the
stack trace from GDB it's 0xffffffff (name=0xffffffff <Address 0xffffffff
out of bounds>) at module.c:509) and strlen crashed while walking over
this corrupted pointer.

Hi.
I'm using Fvwm Version 2.0.45 for months now and I'm very happy. In fact
it's the best window manager I ever used.
I compiled a new version of xcoral for the first time (xcoral-3.1, got
it from ftp.x.org (contrib/editors)).
I compiled it on the same SUNOS 4.1.4 box I used to compile fvwm2 and
when I start xcoral, fvwm2 crashes :-(
I tried to run the same application with olwm (SUN's Open Look Window
Manager) and it worked with no problem.
Attached a stack trace from the core file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Yehuda.
