Re: xedit segfault on open

Maybe he can still have a look for a beer :)
I reported the bug so it is tracked at least.
Except that we don't ship xedit in Solaris - emacs, vim, nano, & gedit
seem to be enough to satisfy our users. (We don't build emacs with the
optional tree-sitter support in Solaris, so don't hit problems with its
node.js dependency as you do.)
I see, a pity it is not shipped, it is always a handy editor that
(usually) never fails.
I prefer vim and emacs usually, but xedit is fast and reliable
especially over network. And I am without vim and emacs on Linux/sparc,
that's an issue currently.
maybe we should disable tree-sitter, although tree-sitter itself is
declared to be just POSIX without dependencies, so I wonder how we get
entabgled in the NodeJS damnation!
I'll see if we can figure this out as spare time allows, but it's not a
priority. (As you can see from the new bug being only the third bug
reported against xedit in years, it's not widely used today.)
Stable code needs little work! Few bugs isn't always a problem!
