Bug Description
When launching any XView applications in Ubuntu Feisty get abort with the following output:
cmdtool: ../../src/
Abort (core dumped)
I tracked the problem down to (approx) line 784 in libxview/
/* Used by atom mgr */
server-
server-
server-
server-
Possible FIx?
If I replace the above 4 calls to XAllocID() with a single call to XAllocIDs(), things seem to work:
/*
server-
server-
server-
server-
*/
XAllocIDs ((Display *)server->xdisplay, server->atom_mgr, 4);
