NT 4 - xterm/rxvt exception and stackdump

[Harold Hunt]

Well, I'm wondering if you followed the instructions in the Installation
HowTo (linked to on the Cygwin/XFree86 home page), or some other
installation instructions... as both rgb.txt and vtwm are included in the
packages listed in the Installation HowTo.

You may simply be missing some files if you followed different instructions.

The ownership and locale warnings can be ignored.

Subject: NT 4 - xterm/rxvt exception and stackdump



I have have been using cygwin 1.1.4 on NT4/sp5 for a while, and just 
rediscovered the Cygwin/XFree86 project, downloaded the latest 
binaries (as of 12/11), and followed the installation instructions 
(except that I could not find rgb.txt on the ftp server, so I just copied 
it from a linux box, and also, the script tries to run vtwm, a file which is

not included, so I just changed this to twm).

Running startxwin.bat (both through cmd.exe and bash), X starts up (with 
a little warning "_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set 
to root"), and loads xterm and rxvt.  However, upon the first character 
typed into either xterm or rxvt, they crash with an exception and write a 
stackdump (and I just hit Alt-F4 to exit):

E:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin>./startxwin.bat
