The earlier mail mentioned a message on a Helix GNOME mailing list; some
searching through the Web archives for that list (I'm not on any of
those lists - I'm not running Helix GNOME) for references to libICE
found
http://lists.helixcode.com/archives/public/beta/2000-August/001222.html
If you need further help on that, I'd suggest asking the person who sent
that message to the Helix list (tony.taylor@xxxxxxxxxx).
However, as the stack trace from
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-users/200010/msg00024.html
doesn't show any libICE routines - it's just showing GTK+ routines -
that's probably not the problem.
It works fine on Solaris 2.6/SPARC, so it may be a problem somewhere in
later versions of Solaris, or it may be a compiler problem.
You may have to see if you can get any help from the
"gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx" mailing list; you will have to subscribe to it
first - see
http://www.gtk.org/mailinglists.html
for information on that.
(I'll see if I have Solaris 7/SPARC available at work; I have Solaris
7/x86 at home, but that's probably not going to give any bus errors, as
bus errors usually mean a reference to a 2-byte or longer value not
aligned on its natural boundary, but those don't cause a problem on x86
unless the OS has set up the processor to do so, and I don't know of any
OSes that do.)
