xfractint crash & more questions
Hello again I ran some old FOTD pars in x fractint, one of them - Spooky_Radicals (November 27, 2000) - caused a crash and a core dump. I removed the line ranges=..., ran the par again, no problems. The resulting image isn't half as nice as the DOS version though. RDS conversion isn't in the main menu, but the Ctrl-s keys do give access to the RDS parameter screen. The RDS image is ok, but as soon as you go back to the parameter screen and change something, the new image becomes messy. The only solution (as far as I know) is to reload the image, press Ctrl-s, try other parameter settings and if the image is not what you want, reload it again, and so on. Not really an xfractint question, but closely related: Is there any chance that OrgForm will be ported to Linux?

Hmm, I can't recreate this bug.

If it isn't on the main menu, you shouldn't be able to get to it because it has problems. Obviously, that isn't as true as it should be. I'll look into it (eventually). Jonathan

I tried again, just to be sure, this time the image was drawn completely, but when I pressed s to save the image it happened again. This is the message from the xterm-window: Saving to: ./newgifs/spooky.gif /home/nat/bin/xfr: line 1: 23814 Segmentation fault (core dumped) xfractint @xfnat [01:14:16] Natalie -- Stolen tagline: Linux is like a wigwam, no windows, no gates, apache inside.

Now that I can reproduce. Thanks. Jonathan
