XRN has dumped core on me twice today; it never has before. The first
time I wasn't paying attention so I clicked on "Exit" and didn't get a
core dump. The second time I did -- it is in ~bjaspan/world/core.xrn
(an RT core dump). The first time, I was in the middle of saving a
whole bunch of transactions to disk. The second time I was just
reading articles. Nothing unusually had happened in either case.
I've been looking for the bug that causes this for about a week now.
Unfortunately, most of the time when it crashes, the stack trace is
useless so I can't figure out why it crashed.
However, I think I just figured out the problem, and I've installed
new binaries, which will appear when the volume is released. Please
let me know if it happens again after tonight.
You can delete the coredump.
