If so, report it upstream. At any rate, post more details than just 'it still doesn't work', such as a recipe for recreating it, if you would like help in tackling it. > together with some more serious ones: > > When used in an Xterm under X (xinit), bash repeatedly tries to access > memory that it should not access and at times it terminates without > warning for no known reason. Again, a formula for reproducing this would be worthwhile, since I have never encountered this behavior. And more details on how you arrived at the conclusion that it is bash accessing invalid memory (such as the address in question, or a stack trace) would be useful, in case the problem is really a buggy Windows device driver. - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
