Ok, cool.  I'm currently using 1.7.4x on my Solaris box.  I find that
sometimes it abruptly aborts, killing the whole X server.  I believe it's
signal related, but obviously can't be sure.  Also, simply starting xcalc
causes it to choke.  Has this been reported before on Solaris?  Have there
been enough significant differences that this may be worked out by now?

Alright, sounds good.  So it's a harmless problem?  There isn't a chance
it's using the wrong header, or will it use the XFree headers first?

Thanks,
