Re: New Linux x86 binaries of Xprt

Roland,

Congratulations, it (Xprt v.5) works better than all the versions I had up to
now.

Are the changes you made to the sources available anywhere ?

I did get it to crash once during my tests. I believe this was triggered
by quitting the client application while there was still a connection :

The "Process .. attached" messages came from strace, not from Xprt.

The application with which I did this was Xinvest (sources of this
version are in CVS at sunsite.dk, it's an unreleased version). I ran
against LessTif, not Motif.
