Xwin stackdump while logging into RH8 with KDE as window manager

[Harold L Hunt II]

Joel,

I just posted a Test97 DEBUG release to:

http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/shadow/XWin-Test97-DEBUG.exe.bz2


You seem pretty knowledgeable, so I assume that you know what to do in 
order to locate the place that XWin.exe is bombing.

One caveat --- if you run this under gdb, be aware that two exceptions 
are thrown during intialization... these are caught by handlers in 
cygwin1.dll, so you can just "continue" when you see these two 
exceptions.  Anything after that should indicate an actual problem.

Thanks so much for testing,

Harold
