Hi
I just discovered why uxterm and xfontsel are crashing on my
system. It's happening when running cygserver so X can detect shared memory
support. When disabling cygserver I see the following message in XWin.log:
MIT-SHM extension disabled due to lack of kernel support
XFree86-Bigfont extension local-client optimization disabled due to lack of shared memory support in the kernel
but then uxterm and xfontsel are running fine. So it looks like the
XFree86-Bigfont extension somehow doesn't work properly with cygserver.
Here my relevant environment.
