Hi,
I've heard nothing from this, so I assume no one is working on this. Unless told otherwise I'll take a stab at this coming monday.
XChat on FC5 has become quite unstable for me that I've switched to Konversation. I haven't tried XChat in FC6T?. Are the newer versions more stable or what?
Xchat on FC5 is what I use daily and it isnt unstable for me. Any bug reports on the problem you are referring to?
Nope.
I "fixed" the instability with: # rpm -e xchat # yum install konversation
Normally, I would have taken some time to try to find some useful info towards fixing this, however, in this case it kept crashing while I was in the middle of some IRC meetings and I didn't have time to deal with it.
The instability had gotten steadily worse with each errata. It was segfaulting without warning at random points. I never figured out how to cause the segfault. Don't you just hate that kind of bug?
If I get some time (it'll be about 3 weeks before that's possible), I'll reinstall xchat and try to get a dump of it's death.
