System type, version: (VAX) Version 6.3B
System name: copilot
What's wrong:
Running xeyes on an Xqvss display in some situations crashes the
X server. I suspect that whether or not it crashes the X server
depends on for how long the server's been running and/or on how
much memory/swap the server has available to it. A core file of
such a crash can be found in:
/afs/sipb/user/jik/cores/vax/Xqvss/core.Xqvss.xeyes
An adb stack trace of that core file using the binary image in:
/release/vax/source/third_party/X11/server/Xqvss
yields:
_miGetArcPts(7fffe4b8,0,7fffe4b4) from 2aa3a
_miPolyFillArc(146a00,f4300,1,17787c) from _ProcPolyFillArc+ed
_ProcPolyFillArc(162600) from 38c5
_Dispatch() from db58
_main(5,7fffe7cc,7fffe7e4) from start+3d
What should have happened:
The X server shouldn't coredump. If you want me to investigate
this further, please let me know and I'll do so. If you want the
core file, please copy it out of the above location and let me
know when you have done so so that I can delete it.
