Hello,
I am in the middle of writing a go-online dialer GUI in XForms (V0.88,
Linux i386 Kernel v2.0.33). It has a number of timers for detecting
online/offline events, idle timeouts, stats displays etc. Everything
worked fine until I added code to abort the dialup operation if it
hadn't managed to connect after 30 seconds. This code basically displays
a dialog and then kills off the dialup process by using fl_exe_command
(which is also used to start the dialup process in the first place). The
fl_exe_command seems to cause the program to dump core about 50% of the
time and/or complain about bad timer ids (this may give you a clue since
the code executed at this point does nothing with any timers so its
something internal to XForms). The only difference between the
fl_exe_command here and when I initially dial up is that the initial
dialup is done in non-block mode in a button callback whereas the other
is done in block mode in a timer callback (registered with
fl_add_timeout). Processes are reaped by a generic SIGCHLD signal
handler which simply does a waitpid (-1, &status, WNOHANG).
Any ideas?
Many thanks for your help in advance.
Tony Cooper.
