Actually the core dumps are my fault :( I sent out diffs with a
serious bug. :( :( :(
on line 175 of libwww2/HTAccess.c change:
/* proxy servers have precedence over gateway servers */
if (proxy) {
char * gatewayed;
StrAllocCopy(gatewayed,proxy);
StrAllocCat(gatewayed,addr);
to:
/* proxy servers have precedence over gateway servers */
if (proxy) {
char * gatewayed=0;
StrAllocCopy(gatewayed,proxy);
StrAllocCat(gatewayed,addr);
Sorry about the bug but I figured xmosaic needed at least one so
that we would have something to complain about. :)
