Odd interaction... mgm <-> eog [ and possibly perl-tk ]

[Benedikt Heinen <beh@icemark.net>]

Hello,

  I'm not quite sure which debian package to log an error against - but 
since a couple of days I have noticed mgm crashing occasionnaly - 
sometimes it took hours before it died, sometimes it died realtively 
quickly.

I have now found one clear interaction, which on my system (debian 
unstable / i386), causes mgm to die - and that is whenever eog starts up 
to display a picture.

But - interestingly enough - neither of the two packages has been changed 
in months.

Mgm segfaults in Tk_HandleEvent  (this seems fairly reliable - several gdb 
traces showed it to always segfault in this routine) - but then again, in 
what way are these two programs interacting at all?  (There is no window 
overlap, which would cause X events to be sent).

Any idea what might be causing this - and more to the point - which 
program/lib might be at fault?
