But I have a feelings that there are more bugs under Solaris than under Linux? Is mjolner being developed under Linux? These bugs are extremely hard to reproduce, they 'look like' memory leaks? The crash (almost?) always happens in Motif, could there be some issue with freeing widgets? One of the difficulties I have with Motif, is keeping track of when widgets are being freed, some of it happens automatically, and that is a nuisance, because you may allocate 5 objects and only free one or two. If a deallocated widget is still referenced somewhere, bugs will crawl out of the screen. When I manage to reproduce it properly, I will give a bug report ... for now I just have the 'impression' that there are more Solaris-bugs than Linux-bugs, and that is strange, given that Solaris is that much stabler?
