Description Dan Naumov 2002-05-20 13:30:01 UTC 
Hello.

I thought I should inform you that including the bugfix patches 1 and 2
for fluxbox 0.1.8 into the FreeBSD port was not a wise decision, since
the patches are known to cause fluxbox to dump core and crash with:
"pid 95623 (fluxbox), uid 1000: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)".

Fluxgen (Fluxbox author) himself suggested me either upgrading to CVS
(which I did) or staying at the stock 0.1.8 (which I would suggest for
the FreeBSD port). I've used the stock 0.1.8 for some time and it never
crashed on me. After installing the 0.1.8 port with the bugfix patches
it has been steadily dumping core on me, at least several time per day.

Fix: 

Compile fluxbox without the bugfix patches.
How-To-Repeat: Install the fluxbox 0.1.8 port with the included bugfix patches 1 and 2.

Hi all, can anyone else reproduce the problem in this PR? Fluxbox 0.1.8 with
author's bugfix patch 1 and 2 works fine for me for days now. Also what does
the author think? Is another bugfix patch or release coming real soon
now?
