Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Look at Xinfo's help on Xinfo itself. I invoked Xinfo from Dash.
What's wrong:
After invoking help on Xinfo, the program died.
The console error message was:
/usr/athena/bin/xinfo: 580 Memory fault
Dash popped up a window about the error too. If memory serves
correctly, it was just telling me that the exit status was -1.
What should have happened:
I haven't used the help section before, but I assume some kind of
help information should have appeared. Definitely the program
should not have died.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
