FVWM: My FVWM exit sometimes as I switching between windows using window list ( alt+tab)

[Phoenix]

Hi,

My version is 2.5.31

Sometimes, not always, when I press alt+tab to switching between windows
via window list, my FVWM would exit and logout automatically.

I did noting to window list in my configuration file.

I don't know whether the problem is specific to 2.5.* or there was something
wrong in my own configurations.

Best,

Dan

Can you get 2.6.1 and build it with:

make CFLAGS="-g -ggdb"

That will give me debug symbols.

If it's crashing, I'd want to know why. Please ensure you have:

umlimit -c unlimited

Set before you start the above copy of FVWM, and if you can then get FVWM to
crash with a corefile, I'd be very interested to see a backtrace from it.

Thanks, Thomas,

I will get 2.6.1 and follow your instructions.

I would report it to you when I meet the same problem with
version 2.6.1.

Was this ever fixed using FVWM 2.6.X, Dan?
