What were you trying to do?
I'm relaying this from a user who sent the original bug report to the Academic
Computing 3partysw mailing list as this is a bit out of my league.
What's wrong:
When running Rasmol remotely on the dialup mass-toolpike (via Apple
X11 and SSH, not in 8-bit mode) by typing add rasmol; rasmol, I get
the crash on startup. Running "truss -r 5 rasmol" gives the following
error:
read(5, 0x000507BC, 4096) = 182

This is what presumably disappears in Rasmol's new terminal. This sounds
like a problem I've had with other software and remote X trusting...except
that "xhost +mass-toolpike" doesn't solve the problem.
Now me (alexp) again:
I verified the user's problem and that it happens with any machine I try to
run rasmol remotely via ssh on, including Linux. If anyone has any insight
into why this happens and a simple way to fix it that would be helpful.
Interestingly, when I use telnet (OSX's default telnet is kerberized
and allows secure connections), it works. I proposed that as a
workaround to the user but would still like to know how to fix the
problem, if possible. It's obviously not worth a lot of effort- and I
don't want to monkey around in the rasmol locker. I just thought
someone might have more insight into this than I do.

What should have happened:
