Re: Segmentation Fault in Redhat 7.2

["Peter H. Israelsson" <peteri@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Bruce,

Just wanted to let you know that I had the exact same error all last
week when executing the "frame/file=junk.gif" command, which I also
solved by running "ferret -gif".  My situation is a little different - I
work at a Redhat linux station via a ssh connection to a Sun workstation
on which ferret is installed.  I assumed it was some conflict in this
mode of operation, but maybe it is a general problem with Redhat Linux. 
I tried the same thing by running a ssh from another Sun station, and
got no conflict.  Sorry - no solution to offer, but at least now you
know the error is not unique to your installation!
