Again: NT4 sp3 cygwinb19.1 using egcs1.0.2 and gas980303 X11R6.3 from
da Silva for b19/egcs1.0.2
Plotutils 2.0 compiles with minor difficulties, crashes when plotting to
X. Appears to have worked with b18 and coolview.
Using gdb, I have isolated the problem to a call to fork (specifically
x_closepl.c line 41)
forkval = fork();
<------ causes SIGINT and/or other errors
if ((int)forkval > 0) /* parent */
the return from fork (the only reference to fork in the whole code) is a
value of the order of 1111, with a SIGINT or other type of error.
Is this a problem with fork? If so, is there a work-around? How does
this effect the operation of other codes? It appears related to some
other fork-related problems being reported.
