Description Igor Sobrado 2002-07-05 09:50:01 UTC 
      xmh (the graphical front-end for MH and nmh) is highly unstable.  It cores dump when changing to another folder, sometimes even when resizing a window.

How-To-Repeat:       For example: changing from the inbox folder to the draft one, and returning to the inbox folder again.

xmh is part of XFree86-4-clients. Over to Maintainer of this package

Is this (and the other xmh PRs) still a problem in XFree86 4.3.0?  If
so, could you get a backtrace?

I really don't know what would make these problems specific to FreeBSD.

I will check it as soon as possible.  I have not that problem in NetBSD
(at least I have not observed that odd behaviour yet).  I will install
XFree86 4.3.0 on a computer here soon, and I will send you some feedback.

I don't know it too.  But I never observed these problems in other
UNIX flavours.  I will install XFree86 on a FreeBSD machine here this
weekend.  If it does not works, I will send you a backtrace.  On the
other hand, I must admit that I have more experience running xmh(1)
in Solaris, with the Xsun server.

Cheers,
Igor.
