hi,
The post handlers of version 0.86.1 and 0.87 seem to crash the
application with the warnng:
Xforms error: hiding invisible form.
[exit] [hide errors] [continue] .. or somethin to that effect.
This happens each time a oneliner is shown and the mouse is moved
on to another button. Applications that ran well with older xforms
versions crash when using the posthandler with 0.86.1 and 0.87.
I note that xforms/DEMOS/preemptive.c now uses a timeout. I have,
therefore, tried using timeouts too, but the crashes dont disappear
unless timeout is atleast 1 second. Even then, the error did occur once
in about 30 tests.
Also, i have many copies of a window on the screen. When I destory
any of them,application dumps core. Unless i disable oneliners
prior to doing that. "sula -debug 10" shows that the crash
comes immediately after puts("1"):"1" is the last output on the screen.
fl_hide_form(..)
puts("1");
fl_free_form(..)

has anyone else come accross such a phenomenom?
