Xvnc core dump on HPIA64 v2

[Marco Salvi]

Hello I have used for 6 months a realvnc version compiled for IA64. It works pretty well but sometime I get an annoying core dump.

Does someone know a more stable version that could be used (I know that I could install PARISC version)

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom,

You can't install the PARISC version it will provide a 100% core dump or similar non-functional response.

I don't know of a more stable version.

I'd suggest reporting the problem to the developers so they test for it and fix it in a future release.

Have you tried to see what is wrong in QueryFont?

Try the following:
(gdb) bt
(gdb) disas $pc-16*40 $pc+16*4
(gdb) info reg
