Re: 5.41 crashes when creating gif's
My guess is that it is unfortunately a Ferret problem and that it's related
to the fact that you are using a TrueColor 24 bit visual on your X server.
I get a core dump from ferret v5.41 on solaris if I try to create a GIF
from my 16 bit TrueColor visual.
You can use the xdpyinfo command to verify what kind of X visual your X
server is using. You might try starting your X server with a 8 bit
PseudoColor visual to verify that the visual is the source of the problem.

yes I get the same crash no matter what screen I try to dump, so you
might be right that it is an X issue - you know any tricks to diagnose such
errors? X is started like this
<avle@kongle> $ ps -ef | grep Xsun
.... /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 -nobanner -dev /dev/fb defdepth 24
-auth /var/dt/A:0-6
and the binary linked against the following - cannot see anything funny...
