There's your problem. > Just tried it again on the other offending programs (libreoffice after a start of a copy/paste operation) and audio/deadbeef playing a 3 minute long mp3 and the same result (each program froze and/or core dumped). So we come back to the original issue which is the only thing all the programs have in common is they use 3rd party xorg libraries (gtk for example) and that's their only commonality beyond all being developed on linux and being GUI based. Thus my original conclusion there is something very screwy about the interface between FreeBSD and some aspects of X that is under the hood to most users and needed for common apps. > -- > Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays > C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun > The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see > You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/ > -- Aryeh M.
