Gentoo Full Text Bug Listing

Description:

Opened: 2008-04-07 14:26 0000

There are crashes in OpenMotif that I hit nearly every day. For me, the appear
almost exclusively in nedit, my editor of choice, but they are confirmed to be
originally caused by OpenMotif.

Normally, I would just submit a report to them, but they have already been:
http://bugs.motifzone.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1390
http://bugs.motifzone.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1389

Both of these bug entries have patches which are apparently applied to the CVS
version of OpenMotif, but unfortunately, there has been no "release" from
OpenMotif since June of last year and I am tired of waiting.

So, I am requesting that the 2 patches from these reports be applied to the
2.3.0 ebuilds. Several people have confirmed that they work and fix the issue.
It really is just a problem with OpenMotif release cycle :(.

Thanks,
Evan Teran

Reproducible: Always
