Re: [wmii] snap: 20060309

Whilst trying wmii I've managed to get a repeatable
crash that doesn't occur under other wm's (I've tried
Ion3) so I don't _think_ my program is doing anything
wrong.

My program can be asked to open a list of files at
once and when doing this it opens (fltk) windows
relatively quickly. I've found that I can open up to
28 windows in one go ok, but when I try to open 55 at
one I get at some point after opening the windows wmii
crashes. If I first open 28 files, then open the
remaining 27 I don't get the crash. (The precise
numbers are just because I use regexps like "*.h" to
specify files; I'm trying to come up with a better way
to test this.) After a crash the XServer stderr log
reads

I've tried using a for loop in the shell opening
xterms and it can open 100 without problems, so I
suspect it's something more subtle than just the
number of opens.

If this is a new bug and it's relevant for fixing at
the current stage of wmii development, is there any
testing/debugging options I can use to provide more
info on what precisely its doing?

cheers, dave tweed
