Re: segmentation fault and gifs files

["Kevin O'Brien" <Kevin.M.O'Brien@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Antonio -

Chances are the problem you are seeing is due to the fact that your X 
window server is running in TrueColor mode.  In previous versions of 
Ferret, attempting to create a gif file in such an environment caused a 
crash.  However, with the newest version of Ferret (v5.50), this is no 
longer an issue.  GIF files can be created using either 8-bit 
PsuedoColor, or 24-bit TrueColor.

Which version of Ferret are you running, and on which platform?
