Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New on sources: rxvt-2.7.2-1


I just downloaded the latest rxvt and tried the command below

$ rxvt.exe -sr -sl 1000 -fn "Lucida Console-bold-14" -tn rxvt -ls -e
bash --log
in -i
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

An invocation of plain "rxvt" also segfaults.

System is up to date by virtue of same setup that installed new rxvt.

Reverting to my previous rxvt-2.7.2-w32c.

Cheers

Don Sharp
