With gkrellmms enabled, whenever the mail checker attempts to check mail, a window pops up that says "<email address>: bad response after user name" or something to that effect. Sometimes, gkrellm randomly crashes with the error of it not being able to update a chart or panel. After disabling (unmerging) gkrellmms (gkrellm would crash trying to just disable it in the program), the problems went away. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Please understand that after I submitted the bug I did some further investigation and found that it isn't gkrellmms at all. It's a bug in gkrellm itself it seems; enabling the disk meter causes plugin loading and unloading to segfault. It may also be the cause of random crashes reported by others.
After more review, the behavior seems to be sporatic at best. Enabling things in a different order always reuslts in different things causing it. Seems like this is going to be a toughie. I could supply an strace...
I think I know how to relibly reproduce this error. 1. Start gkrellm2 (I'm using 2.2.4) 2. Open config 3. Select Builtin->Disk 4. Uncheck Composite 5. Check hda (mine consists of hda1, hda2, hda3...also hdb and hdc) 6. Go to setup 7. Select the \c\f$M\n$T format string 8. Bingo!

plz test the issue w/ the latest gkrellm
closing this one - 2.2.7 works fine overhere x86
