Package: libx11-6
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal
I do not know if this is a bug in xdm, xserver-xfree86, libx11-6
or even in the example program. But when I exchange the execl
in the program given below with a call to main(), this error
does not happen, so this seems to have at least something todo
with libx11-6
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link
