5951.0. "Segmentation fault in XtDestroyWidget under DUNIX 4.0b" by RDGENG::READINGS_R (Richard Readings) Thu Apr 10 1997 04:00

The following code example, together with the customer's own Motif library
(libXm.so), works fine with DUNIX 3.2c but suffers a segmentation fault when it
calls XtDestroyWidget under DUNIX 4.0b. 

The segmentation fault only occurs with the environment variable
"WINTIF_COMPATIBILITYMODE" set to "Windows95", which modifies the behaviour of
the customer's libXm.so. The library is available via anonymous ftp from
apc013.reo.dec.com:/pub/libXm.so.

The example runs OK under DUNIX 4.0x with the DUNIX 3.2c libXt.so however. Can
the customer (ISV) ship this with his Motif library?
