Date: 17 Dec 1995 11:15:55 GMT Organization: University of California, Davis Lines: 28 Message-ID: <4b0u5b$7rp@mark.ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: quadrophenia.ucdavis.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Running XFree... programming with LessTif (the freeware Motif)... 2.1R (from ftp archives). Not being totally used to Motif, I made some gross bugs in my code ;). The program generatd some infinite set of widgets... a.k.a. infinite use of memory. I compiled and ran this NOT as root, nor was it setuid to root. Going..,going..going...crunch..crunch..gri-ii-ii-i-i-nding... blink. Reboot. This *shouldn't* happen, right? [As a side not, I have had some randome (2 or 3) reboots for appearantly no reason. Since I ddint have any evidence pertaining to the cause, I havent bothered to seriously report them] -- Vale, jason .,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., ` Jason Gabler jygabler@ucdavis.edu ` ' campus office: 916-752-9215 home office: 415-752-1969 ' ' Distributed Computing Analysis & Support, Information Technology, UCD' '----------------------------------------------------------------------` ` <http://quadrophnia.ucdavis.edu> Kerberos/Security Telecommuting ' ' X Windows BSD Dist.-Environments ISDN E-mail Integrity ` `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'
