Well, I've never seen something like this with texdoctk, but since I
just switched a few days ago to 2.6.14 (latest with grsec) I played
around a bit with texdoctk (like launching it 10 times in a row with
some other activties inbetween, exercising menues, calling dvis etc.)
but did not experience a crash. Also I launched texfind 10 time a row
and closed it without a problem (but did not do anything else with
it). I haven't seen this with other PerlTK programms, but haven't run
many recently though. 

With grsec was just a shot in the dark, btw. I think the 2.6.10 I
still have here is without grsec, I can boot into that tomorrow and
see if it changes.

Thanks for the *ultra-fast* reply.

Greetings
