Display type: SM
What were you trying to do?
Run xinfo to find out the room number of a room. I wasn't sure
which building the room was in, but I knew the name of the room, so I
just selected to display info in the buildings.
What's wrong:
xinfo gave a brief message about memory lossage, which I did not
get a chance to read, and then it dumped core. I have put the core dump
in /mit/coredumps/xinfo.core.ckclark.911017.Z. There is probably not
much that can be learned from it. I am not able to repeat this
regularly, but it has happened before.
What should have happened:
It is possible that there is some memory leak in xinfo. Perhaps
it should be compiled with a memory-profiling malloc, like mprof or
mnemonsyne in the watchmaker fileset.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
