Hi,

I use Xforms library ver. 0.88 in a application running under UNIX - Solaris on
different Sun platforms. All run very well, but I have a problem that I am not
sure that depends directly from my application or from XForm library itself.
The problem is that, sometime after some hours of correct running the program
is killed and the following error appears:

X Error of failed request: BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib
length error)
Major opcode of failed request: 56 (X_ChangeGC)
Serial number of failed request: 5254
Current serial number in output stream: 5269

Note that never I use directly Xlib functions in my application, but only
Xforms library functions. Unfortunately
I do not know well Xlib. Can someone explain me the meaning of this error and if
I can define a signal to capture the error and to evit that my application is
killed?

Many thanks
