The message I'm referring to is the Windows Dr Watson message that allows me to launch the Visual C++ debugger which will then show me the instruction that caused the access violation in the XWin.exe process. Depending on the configuration of the system, this requester could be anything. I presume it is even possible to launch GDB at this point. >>- Copy & paste works after the crash(from Evolution to Windows) > >So, XWin.exe is not crashing, Crashing as you pointed out is a terribly vague description, but I would have to insist that XWin.exe is indeed crashing. :-) I interpret the situation as a thread within the XWin.exe process having been halted after causing an access violation. The remaining threads in XWin.exe are allowed to continue. The requester that is put up is Windows allowing me to debug it. If I press "no I don't want to debug", then Xwin.exe is immediately terminated. >Are you sure XWin.exe did this? Yes, I've even looked at the XWin.exe in the Visual C++ debugger, but without symbol information its kinda pointless. >This sounds like it is happening in Evolution. You > are running Evolution on a separate Linux/*nix box, right? Yes. > You haven't done something silly like compiled it for Cygwin, have you? Nope. I don't have enough knowledge about xfree86 to do anything particularly harmfull :-) Ãyvind
