Note that the stack trace is for the X server, so I'd expect that
release engineering would look into it eventually and consider seeing
if there is a pertinent Sun patch for this problem and getting it
installed...
But I do understand the limitations of support here.

It's quite straightforward; any attempt to create a drawing seemed to cause it.
But I just now tried to reproduce this on a u10 where I had the problem,
without success. I suppose it might conceivably be something to do with
my account, though this seems odd to me. I hadn't thought to test it with
a test account before submitting the bug report.
I'll try to narrow down the salient difference and get back to you.

At the time I submitted the bug, I asumed that it was only on blades,
but I then tried it on an Ultra 10 and had the same problem.
So, the conclusion, "Pro Engineer doesn't seem to work at all
on Sun platforms."
