xconq (from CVS) hangs after some time

[Norbert Kiesel]

Hi,
my xconq (built from CVS today) hangs after some moves (between 10 and
30) (i.e. no screen refresh etc, have to kill -9 it).  This is on a
Debian unstable (with tcl/tk8.4). strace -p tells me it hangs in a futex
call. I somehow suspect this started when I installed libc-686 (glibc
optimized for 686).

I will try to compile with -g and attach a debugger to get more
information, but wonder if this is a known problem.

Please cc me (nk@iname.com) as I'm not subscribed to this list (though I
also will monitor the archive for a while).

merry xmas

I have not seen this before. I have been testing with the latest 
CVS stuff today on a Mandrake Linux box with Tcl/Tk 8.3, and 
everything seems fine.

If you are using gcc, "-g" is usually picked up by default, but 
maybe configure does something different on Debian. If you have 
"-O", you may want to get rid of that. Doing something like:
  CFLAGS="-g" ./configure --prefix=blah blah blah...
should work fine.
