Hi Jay,
While building and testing tcl7.5a2/tk4.1a2 the 'visual' test
for tk manages to kill the Xserver. I don't have enough disk
space yet to be able to try to debug this but I thought at
least you should be aware. If you want to try to reproduce
it you can grab the distributions from:
<ftp://ftp.aud.alcatel.com/tcl/ftp.smli.com>
They both build easily enough. After compiling both of them
you go into the tk4.1a2/tests directory and start the 'visual'
script, then select 'Group 1->Canvas arcs', the other tests
work ok.
Regards,
Bill V.
