Not so good :-(. Thanks for testing it, anyway.


I found a rather bad crash bug I'd introduced and fixed that, so you might
want to try today's snapshot [1], but I'm not confident that I fixed the
problem you saw, so a backtrace would be helpful if you still get crashes.

OK, I'm running it now and have attached gdb to it. The good news is that I've been running it for a couple hours with no crash, and I've used texworks and have opened many tex files and pdf files in it without a problem. The bad news is that texworks becomes unresponsive and has to be killed whenever I try to compile a tex file. I have no idea whether this is due to an X server problem or something completely different. Anyway, I'll post a backtrace if the server crashes.

In case you want to try to reproduce the current problem, start texworks, open
a tex file (such as the file test1.tex whose contents I listed at the
beginning of this thread), and click on the icon at the left end of the
toolbar (brown triangle on a green background).  This is supposed to cause
test1.tex to get compiled, but for me it just causes texworks to become
unresponsive.  This was working properly with the previous version of the X
server (until the server crashed).

Thanks for testing this X server snapshot.


For me, the problem of texworks hanging only occurs very intermittently.  It
seems to be blocked deep in QtCore, waiting for the spawned process to
terminate (which has already happened).

Attaching to the texworks process, I get a backtrace like this:

I'm guessing this is waiting for the pdftex process to terminate, but ps shows
it as '(defunct)' already...

I wanted to do some further tests, but I thought I should install the latest Cygwin snapshot (2012-03-30) first. With that Cygwin snapshot, the XWin snapshot of 20120329 won't start. It hangs while displaying the xterm window. I attached gdb to it at that point, but when I then clicked on the title bar of the xterm window (which was still not fully displayed), XWin exited:


(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 3256) exited with code 031777777777]
(gdb) bt full
No stack.
