Yes, I'm sure it is 2.4.7. I downloaded and built it myself. It is a
local (to my home directory) installation, but I'm sure that the correct
executeable is being called as well. If it's of any help, I can find out
the particulars of the version of gcalc and Linux distro. (Mandrake ...).
Sorry, I can't be of more help immediately, it is on my work machine.
Is it possible that the Fvwm error was caused in part by me? I remember
gcalc hanging and not being redrawn. I then chose to kill it by switching
to a virtual terminal. As I recall, before killing it, gcalc had a good
chunck of the cpu (X had the rest). After killing it fvwm started
gobbling up the cpu. I didn't check for the fvwm error until after I
noticed fvwm taking up a bunch of the cpu cycles. Did I hit a sensitive
spot in the code?
