Just a reminder that the bug in toehold that I reported first a year
and a half ago and again 4 months ago, and which I was told would be
fixed in the next release last release, is in fact not even fixed in
the source tree. The bug is in this fragment:
wpid = fork();
if(!wpid) {
fclose(stderr); /* this forces X to open it's own logfile */
sigsetmask(0);
prog = *xargv;
*xargv = "-";
execv(prog, xargv);
perror("executing X server");
exit(1);
}
See bugs transactions 966 and 3119.
