What were you trying to do?
Try out a feature in ez.
What's wrong:
It dumped core.
Seven times.
The core files are in /mit/bitbucket/marc/ezcores for bill's
debugging pleasure :-)
Not only that, it's 100% reproducible. It's not even hard. I
run "ez". No args, no nothing. Then I select "Edit Styles" from the menu
card. Instant core dump.
Although I don't think I was doing this every time, the above
actions are quite reproducible, but only for me :-(. I haven't tried
it on another computer, of the same or different type.
Although when yandros tried it, it *panicked* his machine.
Maybe I was lucky ;-)
I have an ancient-looking .preferences file, that might affect
it. But core dumping is still an ugly answer.
What should have happened:
Meta-s should have worked. Edit styles should have worked.
