Re: [gtk-list] Re: Error when using VaxStation as terminal

[Kevin Handy <kth srv net>]

The patch you gave helps a lot, but I am still getting
crashes with clist using a VaxStation as a terminal
(but MUCH less than before).

Using the examples/clist/clist program as an example, it will
now pop up an empty window, and I can click the 'add-list'
button and get stuff added, but when the list no longer fits
in the window, the program crashes. If I make the window taller,
I can press the button more times, but as soon as it gets more
than will fit on the screen it crashes.

Here is the error message

	$ ./clist/clist
 
	Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
	  serial 5404 error_code 2 request_code 61 minor_code 0

	aborting...
	Aborted (core dumped)

And here is a back-trace

Is there some way that I can force in the debugging symbols (in
configure
or wherever) so I can get a good backtrace instead of the '??' for the
function names in the traceback? I might be able to trace some of the
problems if I could do this.
