Hello.
If you have xscreensaver exec zaway, the zaway process becomes defunct
rather than going away
I had no trouble reproducing this.
You may want to check the SIGCHLD handling...
I did, and it looked not-particularly-bad. The signal-catching
routine was re-calling signal(). Not a good solution, but I'm
suprised it fails so consistantly.
Anyway, I changed it to use sigaction() the first time and not bother
recalling it and it seems to be working now. It will be available
when the volume is released.
Have a nice day.
-Sal.
P.S. bug-sipb people: the old version was, apparently, built with
shared X libraries. The new version is, apparently, not built with
shared X libraries. (First, I tried to build it with x11r5 attached,
and got some unresolved function errors. So I started over with x11r4
attached, which is what's installed now.)
Frankly, I like it better with shared libraries. Does anyone know the
"correct" -I_foo_ and -L_foo_ to use the shared X libraries on RS6ks?
