Re: Crash when attempting to load packages not as a root user

John> NOTE2: I don't think the initial colormap warnings have John> anything to do with this problem... Actually, I suspect they do. You crash with a SIGSEGV in X. It would be really nice if you could run this under the debugger and see what's getting passed to cvsStringToPixel. X is famous for not checking arguments, and Motif, well, I try not to let my feelings about Motif get in the way of doing my job. ;^) As a random guess, try the following patch which catches (what seems to be) a different crash in that general region of lwlib. (This will be part of 21.4.7 which will be released RSN :-( or maybe within a few days if I can do real work with this cold.) I'll try to trace the code you're crashing in before releasing 21.4.7.
