Re: some problem on debian potato

Dear Marcus,

mgd> Fwiw, I just did an "apt-get upgrade" on a Debian 2.2
mgd>box and now I'm seeing crashes in Blt_BitmapInit.  Do

I understand that lots of updating was taking place at the
debian site last couple of days in order to "freeze" the
potato distribution, and I usually do "apt-get -f
dist-upgrade" every two days or so to be most updated.

I don't know much about gdb, but the backtracing seems to
show that what you are saying.

Is SDG going to fix it? I would be most greatful if that is
so.
